Using racist terms for a start.

Spotlighting a team that has played more games than any other team (I think) despite having to travel internationally for each game.

Reference to "tiny" crowds. I'd imagine they traditionally average better than at least half of Super league.

As I said I honestly didn't know whether it was a post mickey taking about what others had posted. You've now clarified thanks.

Covid cancellations in the Premier League seem to be taking off; thought this only happened in rugby..?

It's the new version of getting a red card to not have to play over xmas

It does seem like that. There has been a spate of managers moaning about the schedule and as if by magic they've not resolved it. There is now already only Everton with a full December schedule out of the entire Premier League.

The difference was, rugby league games were getting cancelled when football was being played.

There are no crowds at some recent Bundesliga games, and there have been issues and abandoned top league games in France, because of crowd trouble. We can do without any of these problems.
