Oh dry up, you tiresome gammon.

Thistle showing solidarity with a cause isn't a bad thing.  It's the club using its position of visibility and privilege in the public eye to provide support and exposure to people or organisations that need it.  Having the rainbow flag on the shirt last season was no different to us giving over shirt space to the Beatson a couple of years back, or having a pink breast cancer ribbon front and centre of the away kit a couple of years before it.  We're not the first club to do it, we won't be the last, thankfully.

Frankly, I wish we'd do more in this vein. When we have the ugly sisters and their venal tribalism and sniping dominating the city, anything which makes us stand out above that as better members of the community should be applauded.   Even on a basic publicity level, do you honestly think we'd have had all the folk at the Women's World Cup plugging our away shirt last summer if it was just plain white?  We probably sold a couple hundred more shirts than we would have previously because we had Eilidh Barbour, Hope Solo et al plugging it on their social media accounts.

It's 2020.  The only mindset that sees a club doing something to support the communities that support it and surround it is one that belongs in the 1970s along with repeats of Mind Your Language and Bernard Manning.  

 

Tiresome gammon eh? Resorting to racial slurs now just to try get your point across tut tut.

It is losers like you that cause so much hate and divide for these causes because you single them out as needing special attention whilst ramming it down everyone's throats. All these people want is equality not your pity or the club using them as a marketing vehicle to sell more strips as you pointed out.

Nothing wrong with supporting the community i have never said there was, but this constant pish of being seeing as martyrs for the cause is tiresome. So get on your bike and get that helmet camera on so you can post videos online of drivers for that feeling of being so almighty.
