Spot on I’ve never understood why a tweet planning on taxing the 150 billionaires in the country would enrage normal folk, odd, I mean you’re allowed to not like Corbyn (which includes me to an extent) but even that policy is hard to turn your nose up at.
I like that Lyle doesn't blandly filter what he says online. If people have an issue with that then it's their problem not his.
Lyle said in an excellent interview over the summer that he's always been out spoken and a bit controversial
He mentioned that even he realised it wasnt acceptable and potentially hindered his career in the early stages as it gave him (unfairly) a bad name - Now he's a senior player he feels differently which is fair enough
As you say, if people have issues with his views then thats their problem not his!!... Dont like it, dont read it, simple
Same with this post, dont like what I've said then ignore it - I'll do the same with others on here rather than feel the need to get into an pointless and no doubt pathetic argument
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
Taylor is not owning anyone on Twitter, he is not responding or debating to anyone just spouting out Sun level right wing main stream media - I am alright Jack stuff - from a privileged footballers wage.
As a striker, I understand that he has a big ego and is a big character. A great footballer. I really can do without that Twitter crap.
Maybe take up some other constructive thing to fill the time - a bit of studying.
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
(I still, for the record, think he talks very well about race and football, and think he's generally a great asset to the club who should probably wind it in and stop picking fights with Megan Rapinoe etc - I want him here, but stop tweeting ffs!)
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.

Diversity is good as long as it isn't diversity of opinion.

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.

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!

It's a bit like watching a TV programme so you can be outraged after.
He mentioned that even he realised it wasnt acceptable and potentially hindered his career in the early stages as it gave him (unfairly) a bad name - Now he's a senior player he feels differently which is fair enough
