I am saying however that if a club really considers aspects of its perceived identity unwelcome, it can very readily ditch the symbols that cement it. And then the money will dry up so that isnt going to happen anytime soon. Sectarianism and British nationalism is very profitable and lucrative to certain institutions and people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that the lie that everything possible is being done to combat the issue, is just that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole incident stemmed from the Rangers official twitter account after they posted the photo and Goldson wasn’t the only player to write about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snifter Pee Rot Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Ra Peepul don't like Goldson's raised fist. A Nazi salute and funny handshake would be okay mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It quite rightly mentions some utter fucking clown shoe of a Celtic fan being a racist weapon to Morelos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player took the knee and there were multiple of them that posted a message supporting Black Lives Matter and no doubt received similar comments that Goldson did. Goldson only received more attention because he spoke about it more openly with fans. The message from Rangers is clear, they support all the players that took the knee. If they narrowed that down to just Goldson then those players that also received similar comments would be made to feel overlooked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To balance the argument, will you also be posting the countless messages from Rangers fans that support the players here? Or are you only interested in the ones that suit your narrative? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Goldson got more abuse because he spoke about and because he's black.It's that simple.Agreed but the widespread abuse was more about the players taking a knee for BLM and not about Goldson being black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he received more comments because he made more posts and responded to fans whereas the others didn’t. I never once said it was all right. This is typical of you from what I’ve seen of you in the short time I’ve been here. You can’t hold a reasonable debate for very long before you resort to baiting people and talking absolute nonsense 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
