Do you think other sportsmen will follow Henry's example?

{Ed001's Note - I hope so! I have been saying for years they should do. They have the power to change it but they are far more interested in getting likes.}

Quite incredible not an advocate of this movement, but place an anti-vax post on social media and it’s blocked or removed almost immediately. Yet keyboard racists can attack players with impunity.

Or as Henry says breaches of copyright, I’ve led bookface and all their platforms, and whilst they probably aren’t beside themselves with worry the power does reside with the users and i’m optimistic that change can be forced on these inept media organisations.

{Ed001's Note - I left them all years ago due to abuse. Mine was because I put up some info that was right but disagreed with the story the likes of the BBC etc were running. Afterwards when I was proven right, I got more abuse for being right. I never even got a reply to my complaints, so I have not used social media since. The only way change will happen is when more do the same.}

we’ve done our little bit Ed001 changes has to start somewhere hopefully the ripple becomes a flow very soon.

{Ed001's Note - fingers crossed mate. Certainly it is a good step that someone as famous as Thierry Henry has come to the same conclusion.}

The abuse on the Leeds fb sites is horrendous- I read them but rarely post because you just get torrents of abuse regardless of your views. I don't think I've seen any racist abuse so not quite the same but overall its shocking.

alfupper no it’s not abuse it’s called negative, it’s just the same on here with some they don’t like it if you post your views they only want there’s.

Trust me Whiteman it's abuse. Yes on here some get accused of not being fans etc but I think the eds police it well and don't let horrible insults through. On fb it's no holds barred.

Whiteman, having a polar view to every single topic on here does not make you a revolutionary . Nor does it mean you do not have the right to express your opinion.

What saddens me in this example, is you’ve got your self in what outside looking in is some self imposed victim mode, remember Ed001starting this trail of posts, was highlighting the horrendous racial profiling that exists on social media.

That’s not for debate, it’s abhorrent and had no
place in modern society. And Alf added whilst it wasn’t racist on Leeds FB it often crossed a line so how can you unilaterally declare, no, this is not abuse?

You get very little if any attention, criticism on here just compare yourself to Berm? The difference is Berm readily will say we have a premiership team in attack but a championship team in defence.

There seems to be a lot of anger and bitterness in your responses particularly of late, please understand people are not against you as a person as an individual nor do fellow posters block you and stop you from posting?

But it’s a contradiction for you to criticise responses from the large majority of posters on here who simply cannot fathom your predominantly negative posts, in a season when we are 10th in the premier league have players being called up all over to national sides, have discovered Raphinia and have PSG chasing our keeper.

Berm IS an individual on here, I don’t agree with all his views but he at least explains his reasonings and only gets frustrated when people misquote him.

For you, nobody has decried your right to post but please don’t be shocked in a site FULL of Leeds supporters when you are challenged on your almost perpetual critical posts.

Slate me all you like, by return, it really will not worry, me I would just say take a breath now and again enjoy the best times we have experienced in 16 years.

And yes I DO respect your right to keep on going exactly as you always have, just don’t be surprised if we don’t see you as some visionary before your time.

👏👏👏👏👏👏 class post CLASS! Nailed it mate. It's a Leeds rumours and Banter site, predominantly for Leeds Utd fans to have banter. No place for baiting, bullying and certainly not abuse.

Class, your post has no class at all, nor dose the clapping hands, everyone has a opinion, it’s not negative, if I choose to disagree that’s my choice, just because I don’t see as you or others do. If I believe that my team has played crap I will say so, I won’t be bullied in to saying otherwise by morons, I believe Berm is right to post what he thinks just because you don’t . I also think any body from what ever team can post on this site it free for all and just look at the was you lot go at it that ok is it, get real, tell the truth, just because I do doesn’t make me a non Leeds fan or post negative.

Final say from me on Whiteman's uber negativity anti Leeds United posts

Leeds must have won around 60 matches in the past 3 seasons; not even once has Whiteman ever posted
congratulating or praising the team after these wins yet when they lose he is first to criticise.
