   Yes  I read "not anti-racist" as disagreeing with Equality and Inclusive messages in Irish Football. Another example of someone attracted to Football but Hates the Global World View it presents, there's a lot of that in Ireland.

Is Mike Buckley related to Eanna? 
Timebombs like Buckley would have regularly voiced their opinions verbally. The same tolerance which allows a broad view point, tolerated the narrow-minded opinion aswell. It's at the verbal stage that narrow views need to be challenged.

Another concern, what decisions were taken, filtered by the narrow view, what exclusionary environment exists, just because an individual leaves an organisation, any organisation, doesn't mean the environment has changed.

And a last concern, Executive peer group is ripe for narrow view points. Probably the least diverse peer group based on Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Sexual orientation, Civil Status, Economic Class in the Airtricity League. At the very least, Language changes with Diversity -less opportunity to make with taboo/rude words. Equality and Inclusion messages should be directed at Exec. Comm. Members now more than ever.

Sport is adversarial and like targeting Individuals, so individual clubs get targeted in the same way, and it may not be progressive, just adversarial.  But this is an opportunity to target Individual peer group 'Executive Committee Member' and question the value they put on Equality and Inclusion.
