“Platitudes” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 9/12/2020

So Having Read In The News That A Linesman Has Used...
What Some Have Viewed...
As RACIST Talk That Made Players Walk...
Off The Field of Play In A Champions League Game...
I Have To Say That The Same Ol’ Same...
Keeps Getting RELAYED And Like The Game REPLAYED... !!!
By The Same Old Names Because UEFA Keeps Saying...
That... RACISM Is A NO In Footballing Zones... !!!
But Yet They STILL SELECT Officials Whose DEFENCE...
For Racism ALLEGED... In Things That They’ve Said...
Is That...
... “It’s Just An Issue of The Language Used, And Has No Racist Intent.” ...
Which Makes Me Think... NOT This BULLSHIT AGAIN... !?!
So What’s REALLY RACIST According To The Heads of UEFA’s Regiments... ?!?
Because It CONTINUES So All Their... Platitudes...
Reflect The Same Old News That They Seem To Confuse...
With... ACTUALLY DOING What They CLAIM That They’ll Do... !!!
Which Is To Get To REMOVING Racist Attitudes... !!!
From Terraces And The Regiments of Officials... Who...
Seem To Keep Their Racism Well Hidden From View... !!!
Until They Are CHALLENGED When Cameras CAPTURE The Moment It Happens... !!!
But EVEN THEN They Seem To DEFEND Racism That’s ENTRENCHED... !?!
Within The Heads of Those Running Systems...
That CLAIM That WITHOUT A Doubt That They Will... “ KICK IT OUT “... !!!
The Type of BAD JOKE That Stands By Their Quotes...
And RIDICULOUS Banners That DON’T Uphold Standards...
of... RESPECT And Manners That Should QUICKLY HAMPER...
Racism From Being What’s Heard At Team Meetings...
And Boardroom Briefings... There’s STILL A White Ceiling...
For... ALL Their PLATITUDES Sambos And Their Coons...
Who Are Quick To Conclude That It’s... Nothing New...
But Will Be Stamped Out... Well They’ll Excuse If I DOUBT...
That All Their Platitudes Have Made Racists Lose Their DESIRE To PROVE...
That Coons Should Know That Racism Still Flows...
At Grounds And In The Homes of A Lot of Football Folks... !!!
And That Is NO Joke Or Some Chip That Blacks Hold...
Like We’ve ALWAYS Been Told By The Types Who Show...
NO Respect For How It Goes For Dark Skinned Folks Within The Football Fold... !!!
But The Fact Is This...Their Platitudes RESIST...
STOPPING Racist Speech And IGNORANT Breeds...
From Shouting Their ABUSE At Footballers... Who...
Have Faced Raced Hate Throughout Their Playing Days... !?!
From Where They Train To Those BIG MATCH Days... !!!
So INSTEAD of PLATITUDES For RACISTS Who Choose To ABUSE And BOO... !!!!
When This Race Issue Is Brought To Matches TOO... !!!
A Punishment Should Be Used That’ll STOP Racist Fools From Doing Their Do... !!!
Maybe They Should EXECUTE The Next Person To Use Racist Talk And Abuse... !!!
Or Just LOCK Them AWAY For... INDEFINITE Stays WITHOUT Parole Or Bail... !!!
And See If Their Racist Ways Disappear And Are Displaced... ?
... “Now That’s Far Too Extreme “... Is What You’ll Hear Heads Say...
Even When It’s OBSCENE To Have To Deal With Race Hate...
Just To Play A Game That You Love To Play... !?!
It’s A Crying Shame That Blacks STILL HAVE To Explain In This MODERN Age...
That... Racist Views Should Be DISCONTINUED... !!!
And REMOVED From Stands And The Minds of Fans... !!!
So DON’T Get It Confused Because The Simple TRUTH...
Is That Racism RULES How These People Move... !!!
Which Is Why They Hide Behind... ALL of Their MEANINGLESS...
