That's not what Cowan did, though. He instead threw a shitfit over the very nature of antiracism initiatives. He claimed "Dundee Utd" (whatever he meant by that - the fans? The board? The whole intangible entity?) were victim to a huge injustice because an antiracism activist had flagged up a potentially racist insult shouted by a spectator. Cowan framed events in that ridiculous way to try and get Dundee Utd fans all riled up and presumably so they'd go after Bartley, who its speculated Cowan has a grudge against. Dundee Utd fans ignored Cowan because, of course, nobody actually was implicating them or their club in anything despite Cowan's attempted manipulation. So antiracism efforts became collateral damage in Cowan's pig-headed gunning for Bartley here. Folk won't accept that. Cowan really didnt do any of that. He pointed out that the initial investigation had not found evidence of racism, as claimed by Bartley, and asked him to apologise. This is not quite undermining anti racist initiatives. The main problem here is not the message but the messenger. To have Bartley as the SFA equality advisor, when he has a criminal conviction for intimidating behaviour towards a woman, is a fecking horrendous look, even for the SFA, especially when they are supposedly trying to grow womens football. The anti discriminatory message is undermined by who is delivering it. I fully expect some people on here to now go full in and claim I am some sort of racism apologist, despite abhorring it and calling out other "fans" several times for racism, the fact I even need to say that on here is ridiculous. The wider point, and I think this thread proves it, is that to some fans mysogyny is somehow acceptable - "stop dragging things up from the past" as one poster said. Defending Bartley is like defending Jimmy Savile because he raised lots of money for charity. Edited December 15, 2022 by Hendo -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye okay but Tam Cowan is the devil because information available at the time led him to wrongly call Bartley out. Bartley, who was actually in the wrong too for blaming Dundee Utd fans if I remember right (and as mentioned above) - and who is someone recently named in an employment tribunal for telling inaccuracies around another alleged racist shout. Cowan was an arse, Bartley also seems to be an arse, racism is obviously abhorrent. But then so is overlooking something pretty nasty because it only involved a £400 fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Unfortunately we're not going to top comparing Bartley to Jimmy Saville. Similar to Godwin's Law, the threads been Yewtreed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
