CCFC Supports Rainbow Laces - Why? (5 Viewers)

[Grendel]

If you believe that speech should be free and members not banned for being offensive…

There is a distinction - if the op used offensive language and bigoted slurs that is different - shutting people down for an opinion is different to stopping offensive and also dangerous propaganda regarding vaccines

You have called for more bannings than just him to be honest. I can’t speak for any gay members on here but really the debunked idea that being gay is a choice is up there in offensiveness for me.

tbf, the people choosing to be gay is pretty offensive, and pretty bigoted too really.

it was a question people can answer and correct.

I always stay away from the Off Topic section as it makes me realise how many bigots are still around. I dislike how posters bring those arguments onto the footballing posts, I hate having posts about here.

No ban required as how else do people become educated. Otherwise people just hide their views in the same way people have got clever at hiding their racism.

I don’t think there was genuine malice in the post but would say it was offensive.

I imagine this question would normally be asked in Off Topics but the club tweeted it would be supporting the Rainbow Laces campaign this weekend. Not wishing to be facetious but I am genuinely trying to understand a simple question….

WHY?

While I appreciate that societies 'norm' from my generation is shifting at an alarming rate, I do not understand why the club is providing awareness to a tiny and perhaps growing fraction of our fanbase. If the Rainbow Laces wing of the LGBT+ community want to practice their sexual/gender choices, then go for it. What I am struggling with is why their choices are being held up as the new 'norm' that should be accepted by those who may not share in their choices?

I totally get the club making a stance by supporting issues that are a result of no choice at all like the colour of your skin, your country of birth, vicious diseases etc but not somebody else’s sexual/gender choices.

I wonder how we would all feel at election time if the club got behind the Conservative Party with blue armbands, laces and corner flags? Most would see this as plain daft and divisive to rip apart the fan base to support a political choice.

I am quite happy to be educated here especially from those who support the Rainbow Laces campaign. However, if the only reasoned remarks to my question are you're a homophobe or a bigot and general name calling then I will simply dismiss the comment with the contempt it deserves.

When travelling hundreds of miles home and away, I do this to support Coventry City Football Club and I am not concerned about anybody’s sexual/gender preference when jumping up and down when we’ve scored or when we’re all singing together getting behind the team.

Just interested in the rationale behind it all, and if the goal is to encourage society to accept their choices, then what about the choices of the vast majority? - Most of which would just remain silent as not to get ‘called out’.

No fault of the club but I would prefer this Saturday’s game to be all about John Sillet, 3 points a nothing else.

Should the club be involved with these kinds of campaigns?

Don't worry, just because the players are wearing rainbow laces, doesn't mean you're going to get bummed when you go to a game or the players are going to partake in a massive circle jerk in the centre circle.

I don't think he should be banned, as that does just shuts down the conversation. In the same breath, I don't have the patience to have an intelligent conversation with the OP when their points aren't based on intelligence, rather their narrow minded, archaic views.

You can't just ban everything you don't like or offends, if the thread gets out of hand or doesn't lead to a meaningful discussion. Close it down and remove it.

The OP is the reason why the laces, etc are needed. Its to show bigots (not homophobic, as i dont think he's actually afraid of gay people, maybe scared of his suppressed thoughts) like the OP that the world isn't like it was 'back in his day', its moving on for the better.

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Has this forum ever been worse?

Yes

The bit I find most offensive in all of this is the theory from people like the op that gay guys will just leap on anyone male, some of us do have standards

 

[procdoc]

Between this kind of homophobic fucking drivel and the endless troll accounts that keep cluttering up every single fucking thread my time posting on here is going to come to an end. Jesus wept this place is shit now

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

I don’t think there was genuine malice in the post but would say it was offensive.

By the end of page one the usual outpourings of bile, hate and accusations ensued from the usual suspects. I agree that I don't think anything was said at the start in a malicious way. I don't get the hysteria.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Copa Mundials are the daddies.

The beauty of them with those laces too.

Copas for autumn/winter, World Cups for the spring/summer

Comfy as hell.

Haha! 'Bile'.

What? Even if I wear CK One?

 

[Sick Boy]

Yes

@Grendel serenading @COV with some Right Said Fred takes some beating.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

You'd know all about that.

Damnit you've found my one straight guy weakness...

 

[clint van damme]

Pathetic.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

You taught me everything there is to know about being a snowflake.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Pathetic.

Is that all you've got to offer ?

 

[Nick]

Can you keep your lefty righty arguments to those threads?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Must have been an excellent teacher then.

 

[clint van damme]

You are pathetic, there's not a lot else to say.
But I'll leave it there as you attempt to divert another thread away from its original topic.

Maybe you share some of the opinions of the OP and are uncomfortable seeing them under the spotlight? Who knows?

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

You certainly were. It's in all your posts.

I made a valid comment and you didn't like it.
You dish it out but like so many snowflakes on here, you don't like it the other way.

Dished out? what which post number?
Canyou give me the post numbers ofthepostsyou consider 'bile' to demonstrate this valid point youre making?
And trust me, your posts don't bother me because I consider you to be a fucking idiot, you probably feel the same about me, I honestly couldn't care less.

Or the assumption that you'll leap on anyone at all when in actual fact you may prefer to be leapt on!

That is very true but I am very picky either way

Anyone remember strawberry laces? I was eating some once, rammed too many in, sneezed and one came out my nose. True story.

I think that's the whole point of this thread, there are people in this world who like to give and take it
