This is asinine.
The Shire is in need of a thorough scouring.
The Jutes were marginalized for so long.
YAWN , who cares
Only black history matters.
FU woke idiots
Geez... So everyone gets to celebrate their ethnic heritage in Europe except whites? Do I understand that correctly?
Those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it.
But
Those who destroy history intend to repeat it.
England A?
The name “England” is derived from the Old English name Englaland, which means “land of the Angles”. The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages.
Maybe “England” isn’t diverse enough either and should be changed. How about Oceania?
And the guy up above writes who cares? Who cares????? So tired of people and their dangerous apathy.
Just give teams numbers !
That will solve the problem.
Also have them all wear the same color of uniform for true equity.
[[The infamously woke Prince Harry, a patron of the Rugby Football Union, backed the call to ban the song from England rugby matches last June.]]
How about Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah instead.
What does England A stand for? England Arabs?
I kind of like EUrasia, but wouldn’t that offend the folks from Eastasia?
So, if you name your team for some groups (”Indians”), it marginalizes that group; but if you name your team for other groups, it marginalizes everyone else. This is just another example of “A privilege”, as it is well-known that z surnamed people have shorter lives due to the stress of having to wait at the end of the line
Most of the ‘players of color’ I see in English rugby are Pacific Islanders rather than of African origin. But few if any English teams are all white. But then there’s the problem of the New Zealand team the All Blacks, most of whom are white. Both the French and the Italians are called the ‘Blues’ in their respective languages, non of whose players are in fact blue or even bluish. What to do, what to do?
Saxons? Had they reverted? ;)
Rugby is stupid.
When do they say,,,We are not men?
So stupid!
Countdown to their finding “England” in the title offensive....
