Lyle Taylor is perfectly entitled to his political opinions as indeed is every other person on the planet. Quite why however you would choose to use a 140 byte mechanism to enunciate such views probably says considerably more about the individual concerned than anything about the politics involved.
Soundbite politics defines the world today. It is no accident it is the vehicle of choice the POTUS.
In other words nearly all noise and precious little substance.
I wish Lyle well in his recovery in returning to the field of play.
I've also had Taylor's opinions on women and trans people broadcast into my feed. Has made me considerably more relaxed about the prospect of him being transferred
Diversity is good as long as it isn't diversity of opinion.
I don't follow Taylor but about 4 or 5 people I follow do, so I get all his content anyway as Twitter seems to enjoy throwing me posts by people who my follows follow, if you follow. So I can't help but feel motivated to respond
It's the same for me. I unfollowed him a long time ago, though that wasn't for his political opinions. That was more because I was tired of inane posts from strangers popping up on my feed because they'd been posted by an attractive woman and Lyle had liked them. I still see his actual tweets though because I follow enough Charlton stuff for them to appear regardless
Makes me Over the moon that he winds some of the fans on here - absolutely fantastic for balance tony watts a lazy fucker that is playing in Bulgaria. Says it all about him really.
Allowed an opinion and it’s not offensive - so crack on.
Also weren’t we banned from discussing politics and as per its the usual numpties bringing it on to here will be crying shortly - don’t understand why they aren’t banned.

Bizarre. To be honest, my issue with him isn't his politics, I couldn't care less about that, The thing that annoyed me is the fact that his most recent tweet was a deliberate troll post which was written entirely to wind people up. Given that most of the people on his Twitter feed are likely to be Charlton fans I don't really understand why he would bother spending his time trying to wind his own fans up. Not exactly what you expect from your talisman

He’s an attention seeker, simply put.
Entitled to his opinion and entitled to air them if he chooses - but the way he does it is clearly designed to get people riled
If he wasn’t injured and was playing each week and getting adulation, it’s possible he wouldn’t be inclined to be carrying on like this. He is used to being the main man, and he has to find a way to keep people talking about him.
The way he comes across ‘in real life’ is impressive. This sort of stuff is just cringeworthy though. And I say that as someone who actually agrees with a lot of what he is saying.

This is why the other site was set up, to avoid weirdo posturing.
He is suchhhhhh a prat on twitter lol. Loves to dish it out but cannot take it at all.
Massively condescending with his politics comments too. OK mate you earn more money then the rest of us and you’re a Tory. No issue. Not the philosophy I would quite take in his situation but whatever, just don’t be so aggressive with it on twitter for Christ sake.
You do realise that not everyone that doesn't want to vote for Corbyn is a Tory right? I wouldn't vote for him if you paid me and I'm also not a Tory.
Yes I do realise that as you can see from my comment a few posts below. Cheers though.
Lyle, don't ruin all your good work after the month of October and community work with Charlton. A mature person tends not to just spout what they think and yell back, 'that's my opinion though and Im entitled to it'....leave that to the late night diva's on the last train from Liverpool St on a Thursday night!
Haven't seen his provoactive tweets but obviously an articulate guy that matches words with actions. Shame some of the TV politics shows haven't picked him up.

hair unpinked back to blonde
He said he was close today but wasnt worth risking him and hopefully he will be back in a week or 2.
I was kind of like if he was close today why are u saying a week or 2 lol.
Is it mind games for next week or is there something he doesnt want to say and its worse than we thought
