So my brother just send me a post on insta on Mason Greenwood, saying our club should just sign him now. Like, mate have you not heard the audio of the guy literally r*ping his gf? Or do you just not care?

According to my mom he also sometimes goes on a rant against woke and LGBTQ+ people. I’m 100% convinced social media algorithms got him into Tate territory. My mom is an open minded person. My dad, while being a typical working class guy, is an open minded person. They would never say dumb shit like that. And I don’t think I have to clarify how I think about the world.

My brother is a kind and good guy but I always felt he was easily influenced. I hate that losers like Tate can change him from what he is into a potential racist shithead.

    This was an issue prior to social media, too. People at certain points of social status get promoted because “they make money good”.

    Social media has helped to keep them in the spotlight when they should be buried into obscurity.

    And people gravitate to Tate dicks because “they’re offering something”, even if that something is absolute trash.

    Hopefully your brother will see reason soon.
