Eni Aluko is a typical example of an educated person who's nowhere near as clever as she believes. The more she talks the more transparent she gets, to the point whereby she destroys her own arguments. She answers almost every fact, she can't answer, with, 'Yes that may be the case but we should still question it'. Why? Facts are facts ... claiming we should still question things is the Nigel Farage defence when he's wrong. It's become an automatic response from people who then try to change the subject. Ian Wright says he "cannot accept" Eni Aluko's apology for suggesting the former England striker risked blocking female pundits from being given broadcasting opportunities. Wright, who is a pundit for various outlets on the men's and women's game, said he had seen the apology from the ex-England forward but wanted to move on from it. "I'm very disappointed by what Eni has said," the Arsenal legend said. "She knows how I have helped her and supported her publicly. "I can't accept it [the apology] but I also want to move on from it. I don't need any further social commentary directed at anyone."
I'm pleased he has stood his ground. This is not the first time that Eni has spoken out without thinking about what she is saying. She strikes me as a pundit who courts controversy. Ian is, and always has been one of the most vocal ex-footballers backing the women's game. Her comments were wrong and totally out of order. If she is to go on the attack, she needs to target it at people who are unduly scathing of womens football, not one of their greatest ambassadors.
No idea what this is about but if I was take a punt I'd guess she has suggested that a man being involved in punditry of the women's game is blocking the route for women doing it? No doubt whilst championing women being pundits for the men's game without noticing the hypocrisy of what she is saying?
Pretty much m8, she couldn’t use the race card this time for obvious reasons, but it’s there in her go to pile for the next male ex footballer who dares to say he knows more than she does, or indeed who doesn’t say that, just dares to comment on the women’s game.
From what I’ve seen of her she comes across as a professional victim. In fairness she’s not the only one. Look at Narinder Kaur and Imarn Ayton. Neither are particularly intelligent or interesting yet use their platform to push their own agenda.
Quite simply because of "positive discrimination" and quota's women, black people, homosexuals etc are now getting jobs based solely on their gender, race or sexuality. That is in itself discrimination. It should be be the best person for the job regardless of gender, race or sexuality. That is equality, not "quota's". Ian Wright gets work because he is good at his job, simple as that.
Here is a nice compromise. According Aluko the ladies game is growing so fast the opportunities will grow exponentially ...so... let Women commentators have the sole rights to commentate and give "expert" analysis on the Women's Game. If they are OK with that....Let Men deal with the mens game...no compromises.Then everybody will be happy
This, can't have it both ways. They won't give up the work in the men's game though as it's more exposure and no doubt a higher fee!
