Whether you're deliberately missing my point or not I don't have the time or inclination to argue with tedious little men on the internet (in the correct forum of course).

You are exibiting bias in this instance and ignoring my point entirely.

Trump is the President. He can say what he likes if he considers it appropriate because he is an elected politician.
Freedom of speech is a privilege that should not be abused by those who just happen to have mass exposure. Everyone is entitled to voice an opinion but not to take advantage of their position for political gain.

First you take the time you tell me that I believe 'words are violence' and that you're 'quite sure I said it' even though I didn't, so it's fine to 'speak for others' with your own fantasyland comments. Now when I post:

"Unfortunately many of those who claim to be interested in 'freedom or speech or expression' aren't in the slightest. They are interested in what they perceive to be 'their freedoms' being taken away and not one bit about a structure that contained views and forms of expression that they both agree and disagree with."

which is self evident true by the way, suddenly I'm 'talking rubbish' and 'don't speak for others'. My god, you want to tell black players when is appropriate for them to protest - no such requirement stated by you in charlottesville ironically, i'm 'quite sure' of that - and now people are chastised and told not to say certain things.

'Don't speak for others'? Give me strength. If I want to state an opinion I'll state it. You keep your faux freedom of speech and expression outlook and I'll actually defend the real thing across the board.

So let me get this straight: You are inferring that politics and sport do mix but sport and politics don't.

Ok. Odd but interesting. I'll need to think that one through.

No.
I'm saying that elected politicians can deal in politics where as sportsmen shouldn't. It's not hard mate. Politicians making political gain from subjects that involve sport is not the same as sportsmen being political.

If they want to, get elected like Seb Coe did.

If people have a view they can express it. You arbitrarily deciding that they shouldn't holds about as much weight as telling some random bloke on the street that he's not entitled to share his opinion.

If anyone, with the mess of politicians we have, we should be pleased when anyone gets involved politically.
