WORLD'S SECOND RICHEST FOOTBALL CLUB GETS CHARITY CASH TO - WAIT FOR IT - "GET STAFF FIT"


What a complete pile of cock. Manchester United, owned by Malcolm Glazier, owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is to receive £30,000 of UK Lottery money "to get its staff fit".
Considering over 40 of its staff are professional footballers, over half of whom are paid more than £30,000 a week, AND ARE FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES you wouldn't think they need the money.
Added to that, while everyone knows the Lotto is a tax on the poor, even the poor might have thought it was going to somebody in a wheelchair or some poor fucker without anywhere to live.
Not a bunch of employees that work for a billionaire, make a profit every year, and who already have half a dozen of the world's finest fitness coaches within the same building.
This isn't an anti-Man United rant. They are a profit making organisation. If a bunch of pussies in Lotto house give them £30k of course they'll fucking take it.
It's the final nail in the Lotto coffin. Voluntary organisations and those in need can't get a look in because to apply for a Lotto grant you need to be a form-filling mathematical resourceful and persuasive genius.
People don't work in voluntary organisations to fill in forms, they work in them to help out those who need it. It's the fucking process. Everyone wants a process. But it's a process that only the able-bodied, literate, English-as-a-first-language, employed and middle class invented so that only they can score from it.
It's a fucking disgrace that any PLC can claim Lotto money. At the very least this money might have paid to extending the disabled access or helping local kids-in-need a Saturday treat, but to be honest these should be covered by access-for-all legislation and a club with a sense of community. Not charity money.
A tax break for staff fitness is a good idea, maybe, but Lotto money?
Even education leaflets at the local doctor's surgery or even an extra nurse would keep more people who need it more well.
Idiots, idiots, idiots.
The Lotto qualifies as an full time member of the pissing-in-our-boots-club. Save your money for Sport Relief or Comic Relief.
Not this charitable Hand Relief the Lotto is giving out.
