Sir Lewis Hamilton

Well if you mock someone for who you see as autistic and make a racist slur based on the colour of his face then I think that comes under the category of ironic in the context of this thread

Calling someone gammon is classed as a racial slur now is it? Ok Nigel. I feel my brain cells diminishing so you have a wonderful day.

I don't recall the virulence directed to Hamilton on here being evident when Botham got his peerage. Now, I wonder why that should be. A knighthood, whatever people think, is ultimately pretty meaningless, comes at hardly any cost to the public and is irrelevant but being made a peer makes you a legislator and you can, in certain circumstances, affect the whole country.

Content rather than where the bloke sits on the spectrum is clearly the issue.

If you share his views fair enough, we'll leave it there. Have a good day.

Didn't say I shared his views. I simply asked what the issue is if the bloke is Autistic.

Is that a common trait you use to mock anyone you don't agree with?, if it is I think that's pretty low.

Are you Autistic? Do you have family or friends that are? If so, ask how they feel you using their disability to describe someone you don't agree with

I already explained the issue is with the content, and if you upload hate filled and personal diatribes to a social media platform then you do leave yourself fairly open for ridicule.

You could argue your faux outrage around this particular point to try and win an argument on the internet is also rather low and disingenuous. From your post history you have a bit of form of trying to come across as morally superior to others though so not really surprising, and you've probably convinced yourself you are just trying to enlighten us mere mortals.

Ah so you call people Autistic as form of ridicule?

Merely pointing out that you use a disability to ridicule someone and find it acceptable as quite bizarre. As for faux outrage I have a hidden disability also hence my issue with your comment.

You shouldn't need enlightening regarding disabilities if you are willing to use them as a from of insult as you must be aware of how they affect people

I would define a sport as an activity that I and others can participate in by playing.

Football
Tennis
Badminton
cycling
rugby
swimming
hockey
..
and on and on
But I cant jump in a Ferrari and drive round the block for a couple of hours all paid for by someone else.

Given you & your mates could jump in your cars & race each other round the block, you seem to have a higher criteria for motorsport than you do for other sports in that you need to be paid to play it.
