Dawson Park Boy Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I’m certainly not giving any support to an outfit of which one of its leaders is gunned down by one of its own people. The whole TTK thing is just pure virtue signalling. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booing anti-racism protests makes you at least open to accusations of racist sympathies at the very least. Nice re-tread of the "following a team whose fans sing bigoted and sectarian songs doesn't make you bigoted or sectarian" stance, there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 There's a difference between saying it's virtue signalling and booing.I do think it has become tokenistic but I don't think it's acceptable to boo either.It sends completely the wrong message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This culture war shite takes attention away from the real issues. Instead of the focus being on institutional racism it is on football. The the anti racist position becomes supporting the knee rather than supporting police reform. It's the same with Palestine. As soon as public opinion was clearly against Israel recently all the media and political attention in the USA and Europe went onto alleged anti Semitic incidents in their home countries. These kinds of dramas are cooked up to serve power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it’s a good, clearly visible show of support.I am somewhat cynical when it comes to commercial organisations backing actions.Many are pushing it because it is more to do with their business image then any fundamental belief in anti-racism.It can get to the point where people are going through the motions - taking the knee etc but nothing else happens.It needs to be seen as just one part of the campaign not the only part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
