Okay if it comes out that a player or member of staff has requested this then I'll eat my words until then I'll take this the same way as Celtics "solidarity" with Palestine stunt, pure publicity. Celtic as a club have never done anything to show solidarity with Palestine, whether for publicity or otherwise. Celtic supporters have and the plc would probably, on balance, rather they wouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Even if it is a cynical publicity stunt, the fact that corporations(and not just Liverpool) see it as good for them as a company to support such causes is a big positive. We live in a world where big companies have significant influence and whilst that's not a good situation lets not complain when they use that influence in the right way.

You seem to be moving the goalposts from "they sought pure publicity with their stunt" to "they didn't make a public statement against it".

The frightening thing is that there is still a hard core of 40% who will support him come what may. That plus a few others won’t be enough. Unless Biden crashes totally, a possibility, Trump will lose. I'm so confident in the dumbfuckery of America that I'm prepared to bet £20 to be paid to the charity of your choice in the event that the Donald doesn't get re-elected. If you accept and he does get in again, I'll have a score sent to Yorkhill Children's hospital please.

Raidernation Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Had to go out today, drove past a completely burned out Family Dollar store, downtown Aurora.TBH if I was looting I’m not sure that would be my first choice.I’m also about 1/4 mile from a “liquor store” that is now all boarded up but still open for business. It’s way too close for comfort. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 2 hours ago, DA Baracus said: The constitution is, for the most part, a ludicrous document that is held in such strangely high, unimpeachable regards despite it literally having multiple amendments. Not seeing the issue here. You both realise that Liverpool have black players yes? It's possible, maybe even probable, that they asked to do it. Besides, the more people who raise awareness over the issue from as many sources as possible is no bad thing. If this makes some young Liverpool fans take notice and look in to the issues then great. The issue to me is that they said it was pretty much ok for Suarez but now they’re are acting offended on someone’s behalf for a pr stunt. Yes they have black players but they did little to help when they backed Suarez. It’s picking and choosing to suit your agenda. They backed Suarez because he was arguably their best player. Perhaps I’m being cynical? All this virtue signalling stuff is just holding up a big look at me board claiming that you somehow care more than others. Every normal person is offended and was shocked at what happened but wtf has it got to do with Liverpool football club and why now? Im pretty sure you said that the remembrance stuff the pars did was a bit iffy. This is way worse, there’s no real connection to the incident other than having some black players who they were quite happy to allow to play alongside a bitey racist a while back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've outed yourself there with that terminology. You genuinely believe that players who weren't even at that football club when Suarez was are responsible for the entire history of that club? Are you saying that all players must abide by what all previous players did? Seriously? What a stupid moronic claim. Please explain this fucking garbage nonsense. Are you also suggesting that black players can't show support for something just because they play for a certain club? And that their team mates can't support them? Are then suggesting that anyone who shows support for the situation in Minnesota is virtue signalling? When the American football players took a knee I take it you were raging and calling it a PR stunt and asking why they were offended and what it had to do with them? If not, why not? What is different? As to why now? Hmmm, I fucking wonder why now. Edited June 1, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
