To report my colleagues fantasy football team name?

[Hulkins87]

We have a work fantasy football league, it’s advertised on the internal intranet site and emails were sent around about sign up details etc.

The league has gone live tonight so you can see everyone’s team including their team names.

A colleague has a team name which references stopping the boats - would it be wrong of me to report this?

Who DOESN’T want to stop the boats???? It’s illegal migration and is illegal for a very bloody good reason. Why on earth would you report that?

You probably wouldn't notice it if you're one of the obsessed. Because you're so intent on listening to your own voice you're not paying attention.

I’d have presumed this was a reference to the goalkeeper; given it’s a fantasy football league…

You can report it to the PL. They’ll force a name change if they agree it’s offensive.

Two 17-year-old asylum seekers have been convicted of the rape of a 15-year-old girl in Leamington Spa.

Wanting to stop illegal migration is NOT racism, it’s wanting to stop illegal migration! I’m happy for people to be granted asylum here legally via the proper channels. Me not wanting people to bypass these legal checks and quite literally come running into the country with zero checks, is not racism ffs. Immigration exists for a bloody good reason! If it was racism then the entirety of the UK’s Border Force network wouldn’t exist!
If not wanting illegal migration was racism, then we should tell Trump to remove all of the Mexican borders’ checkpoints and the Canadian border’s checkpoints. Just let everyone free roam! Same with every other civilised country “Just open up your borders everyone and if you don’t, you’re racist!!!”

Your ad hominem comments are not very convincing, you know.

But do carry the n trying to persuade people that there’s nothing to worry about and that ordinary people aren’t concerned 👍

Someone will be along soon to ask you why you aren't linking murders by British people which they somehow seem to think negates these crimes.

WHY would you report him? For having an opinion different to yours? What makes his opinion wrong and yours right? What’s funny is they DO need to be stopped even the PM agrees, it’s not up for debate whether people should be allowed to flood illegally into our country or not, the official line is they should be stopped and they are paying France millions of pounds to help do so, so why would you think your personal opinion matters at all?

I don't need to convince or persuade. I'm not pro immigration and do believe there should be controls and restrictions. I'm an ordinary person who doesn't see it as central to my existence. Its you who is here pushing a particular rhetoric.

Why post here when in the time you typed this you could have reported it on the fantasy football website?

Yes, OP has a problem with someone who may have different political views to her, and because she's a lovely, tolerant person, she wants to report them.

Suspect you are one of those people who loves all the illegal immigrants because you don't have to live near them.

I'm an ordinary person who doesn't see it as central to my existence.

Did someone tell you this was a winning strategy for denigrating people who express concerns about the level of illegal immigration? You’ve said versions of this three times now. It’s such a random accusation.

What is not happening?

Yes, you can never have too many rapists and murderers.

Casual racism is OK as long as it's not too direct?

How do you know he’s talking about the boats?

Or how do you know he’s even talking about Nigel Farage?

He could be taking about some other Nigel stopping something completely different.

You could make yourself look very silly.

This would be against policy - you could shoot a quick note to a friendly HR person rather than officially reporting?
But actually, why get involved? Someone else will see this and it’ll get changed.

Nobody told me anything. Im not suggestible or gullible and i have no agenda. I speak as i find.
We are on a thread about a man who can't even participate in workplace FF without having to bring in immigration. On the same thread, people can't even comment about whether political statements are appropriate in the workplace without using it as an opportunity to bang their own drum about immigration. This crosses from ordinary people being 'concerned' to it being obsessive. Most people are concerned. Most people don't feel the need highlight this one issue incessantly.

Oh god, we really do have too much HR in this country..

This is why businesses are so unproductive and our country is falling behind.

How is it racist? It's culture thats the issue here and people should watch when they're conflating the two.

I would imagine the person choosing the name supports “Nige” and therefore is a tosser.

The FF name has no need to mention Nige really did it.

Given that immigration has consistently ranked as no.1 or no.2 on voter concerns for the last few years, I think the 'obsessed' minority might be those humming with their fingers plugged in their ears.
