Hey all, Liverpool fan here, but came on here to have a look at the opinions of Palace fans about all this nonsense. I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, on the Liverpool forums, or Redcafe, Guehi is of course being slated, Morsy as well.
Fair play to Palace fans for actually supporting their captain and calling out all this woke, virtue signalling, cultural Marxist BS. It seems that to now tolerate LGBT shite it is compulsory to brand yourself with an armband in support of it. It is absolutely ridiculous. This stuff should be nowhere near football. It is the only thing, this and BLM, KickitOut and whatever other political garbage they force on us, that makes me lose a bit of love for football. Sky Sports are a shadow of what they once were as well.
Anyway, just wanted to say big respect to you all. If this was Van Dijk, then the Liverpool fans would be abusing him, calling him this and that.
Shame that Liverpool would now support the FA over their own players. I guess that it's indicative of the whole agenda constantly rammed down all of our throats. I don't believe many of the older Liverpool fans would have been keen to accept authority over their own players.
Surely being free to feel however you like and express it could be given to footballers but now the whole game feels immersed in fake, virtue signalling politics. As someone else said, are any of us genuinely to believe that the FA cares about inclusivity whilst being paid off to ensure competitions are in Arab countries? Ludicrous hypocrisy at best, rank corruption at worst.
And to cap it all the Qatar workers were basically slaves. Despite ruling on it and promising, there will be no compensation for them at all. Loads died for fucks sake.
And in the meantime we're supposed to care that a devout religious person wrote I love Jesus on an armband he was likely uncomfortable in wearing. Talk about petty bullshit. He wore the bloody armband.
I seem to remember people feeling they had to wear armbands with insignia or risk being vilified before. Shame absolutely no one in authority seems to be able to see the bizarre double standards and outright bullying going on.
Surely it would be more appropriate for players to do this by choice? Then the club could ask who exactly is comfortable with doing it.
If you are religious, which I'm not, this could be offensive and against that. Obviously too, once again, a Muslim seems to be able to legitimately question this but not a Christian. We see enough of this now and it fits into our new found two tier standard society.
I would also say, that after being to Anfield so many times, how much I enjoy it and I have always had a lot of time for genuine Liverpool fans and people. Yet, I've noticed their replacement by tourists and the diluting of the local aspect of the club. I see tickets have gone up and in true faith I question how many Liverpool locals can afford that. Another aspect of fans losing the game.
