Calling out monkey chants or hurling abuse at players, be they black or white, because of their ethnic background is racist. The world media labeling 35,000 young Hungarian children getting emotional during a game of soccer as “racist” is indeed a new low for journalism. A measure of inherited thinking might also do some good to players wittingly or unwittingly bowing their heads in front of a set of mandated morals, kneeling before an ideology actively involved in removing statues of their national heroes, calling their country’s war-time saviors ‘fascists,’ and injecting unsuspecting young children’s minds with divisive ideologies such as Critical Race Theory. In turn, however, one could call on the England coach to perhaps give some thought to his own “inherited thinking” no doubt passed on to him by his parents or past teachers by showing some respect to noble British traditions such as diplomatic skills, respect for free speech, freedom of conscience, respect for childhood, and national sovereignty. Southgate’s exasperatingly simplistic observation, according to which these children are exhibiting “inherited thinking,” also implies that their parents are racist too. In other words, there is no need for the English national soccer team to bring race-relations enlightenment to “less fortunate” parts of the world. The law clearly states that it is exclusively the parents’ right to educate their offspring about contentious political, sexual, or gender issues. Hungarians have stood up to cultural, gender, race-relations evangelists coming from abroad, and have introduced their much maligned child-protection law that expressly prohibits the targeting of school-age children with identity politics. The cultural imperialism underlining Southgate’s thinking is probably hidden only before Southgate himself, even though he himself unwittingly manages to answer his own question. Indeed, why would anyone with the right mind object to a football team showing their open support to an extremist political movement that openly calls for the abolition of nuclear families, the defunding of police, during whose protests shops and cars are torched, police officers and journalists attacked, and whose leaders are currently under investigation for gifting themselves multi-million dollar mansions from donations? That felt like inherited thinking to me… That’s why we do it, that’s why we continue to take that stand and we will keep doing that.” “I have no idea why people would try to boo that gesture,” he added. It is unclear what sparked the alleged booing among the children, or how many were involved, but the incident was strongly addressed in a statement from England boss Gareth Southgate, who said: “I thought that’s why we do it, to try to educate.” He added, “there were pantomime boos when the team came out to warm up, that was different with the taking of the knee. Hungary had previously beaten England at the 1962 World Cup, but since then they have lost 12 times to the islanders, with three draws.
