Ok. Bad choice of word saying acceptable. But, why is it so bad to use player rather than man? It seems to have got a lot of people's knickers in a twist. It’s not the using of the word player, it’s the avoidance of the word man that twists the knickers. (Mine are not particularly twisted or untwisted btw, but I can understand people's disquiet) Ok. I just find it funny seeing grown men (obviously should put people) up in arms about slight changes. Especially as it was pointed out that the headline said 10 man City. I get it though. Non match days are shit boring

Yes, and the equivalence you’re making here is that using the word “man” to refer to a man is now “unacceptable”. That’s the issue. Ok. Bad choice of word saying acceptable. But, why is it so bad to use player rather than man? It seems to have got a lot of people's knickers in a twist. My knickers weren’t in a twist when I asked the question initially. I was assuming that the word ‘man’ was being deliberately not used - I suppose because it’s in some way offensive or not inclusive. I find the deliberate change to exclude that word pretty strange.

It is indeed pathetic to change the language used in the men’s game from “man” to “player” just to appease those who get offended, even though the players involved in the spectacle are in fact men. Noticed it myself, it is annoying, and degrades men in my opinion the fact that they’ve changed it. Denying our existence some snowflakes might say.

What really fucks me off is headlines like.... 'Stoke claim the points over 10 man Hull'
After we've beaten them 4-0 and the red card was in the 94th minute as if it had any bearing on the result!

A bit like those sound bites that say something like ‘Stoke have only beaten Stevenage twice in their entire history’, when we’ve only played them twice and won both games.
