To report my colleagues fantasy football team name?

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?

Agree. Ross Kemp asks men in this interview what they think about the effects of rape on women. They don't understand the question - even after he repeats it.

Jeez and how far is that going back. People can carry on acting dumb all they want, there's no getting past the reality. We are screwed.

Absolutely report this OP and ignore the weirdo racists on here. What has happened to mumsnet? I hadn’t realised it was so fervently right wing now.

This country is well and truly fucked if people like OP are bed wetting over a fantasy football team name…….. really?? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

It's so odd, isn't it? And all concentrated on a just a few, particular threads

So transparent

Bed wetting? That's a phrase used by people with very unpleasant views, but I'd not seen it on here before. It shows what the platform has become.

A fantasy football team is a bit of fun. You might be taking it too seriously.

Really? So locker room banter all ok in your mind then?

Perhaps those posters who reply with laughing emojis can have a read at this.

Remember the days that banana skins were thrown onto the pitch? Those fans would be banned now and rightly so. They don't love football, they do love racism.

What's more odd is somebody seeing fit to start these predictable leftie threads. OP missing in action, or is she?

Pinkbob74 · 22/08/2026 19:46

Objectively they could be referring to any boats! Whaling boats, the ones blocking the strait of Hormuz ... What are your grounds for assuming this is racist? What proof do you have of racism? I think you'll find you're chasing your tail and causing people unnecessary hassle because you're assuming racism when there's actually no proof of it.

placemats · 22/08/2026 20:50

The smell of a beloved dog when they roll in fox shit is horrible. Are we all agreed?

This is specifically about football and racism. Gone are the days when you can hide behind insults, banana skins and laugh emojis.

We see you.

VeneziaJ · 22/08/2026 20:54

No I would find it offensive too

Keep trying. We also see you, trying to shut down conversation you don't like.

Don't you want to stop the boats?

placemats · 22/08/2026 21:44

Didn't people in England want to stop the Romans invading England by boats?

Didn't people living in England during the Viking invasion want to stop the boats?

Didn't people in England want to stop the Norman invasion by boats?

Yet I bet all of you love a Roman ruin, love visiting York and as for Norman churches and castles, they still stand and are much loved.

This is really scraping the barrel and your most recent example took place nearly 1000 years ago.

But thank you for the laugh on this Saturday evening.

Yes let's have a laugh about the last invasion I forgot to mention. The fascist Hitler and WW2. The bombings and thousands killed. Lest we forget.

Thankfully those boats were stopped. Churchill, as a consequence of peace, engaged with Europe post the war and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland became founders of the European Court of Human Rights, ECHR.

What's that got to do with the thread apart from the link to football?

keepincool · 22/08/2026 22:29

My ex and his teammates called their team the Punani Army - which is more offensive than a fantasy name, imo.

But genuinely, report for what?

Reporting colleagues to HR for their (legal, mainstream) political views is abhorrent.

Unless all mention of politics by staff is a reportable matter. But that seems unlikely.
