Ignorance is... Ignorance
Sitting in work I heard a discussion regarding the new stadium. Many of you will already know it's one of my pet peeves. Another thing that riles me is people stating as fact their opinions and conjecture regarding issues they know nothing about. Oh this was going to be fun.
"You know they're going to call it something like Queen Elizabeth Stadium or Windsor Stadium!"
I did not know that. I've been following the farce that is the Maze stadium for months now and had never even considered the possibility that they might call it that. Why? Because I'm not a prejudiced, clueless, paranoid MOPE (at least that's what I like to think). Is it any wonder the country's the way it is when people rely on their prejudice instead of facts and common sense? If this guy wasn't a nationalist he could be a DUP candidate with scaremongering like that.
Leaving aside the fact that Windsor Park got its name before the House of Windsor due to its location in the Windsor area of Belfast, there is no way any project designed with political correctness at its core would come within a country mile of a name so contentious. This is especially true when the the powers that have demonstrated they will do everything they can to kiss up to the GAA in order to get them on board.
