As for definitions of racism, Google is your friend there 😉😂 Instead of being angry about those who break the rules why are you not questioning them? The only thing improved by such silly 'speech' rules is the power of government. I hope you realize that these things are not created to protect you. They are created to trap you. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questioning who? I've done plenty of questioning in the past, having been involved in various things over the years. It's now up to younger bears to take up the mantle, but that doesn't stop me from highlighting the issues when I see them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) It seems to me the point of campaigns like SRTRC is to reflect well on those who organise it. It's the same with the daft kneeling performance. I can't believe anyone with half a brain is actually dissuaded from behaving in a racist manner because they've witnessed some footballers taking the knee for ten seconds. Virtue signalling is so prevalent now that we've become immune to it. Edited October 23, 2023 by Bill 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but Rangers have used it and similar things over a number of years to try and highlight to UEFA the steps that they were taking to prevent the issues that we were getting into trouble with. Although it seems to be a box ticking exercise, it can be of some help if hauled in front of UEFA's beaks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest the Anyone Everyone campaign struck a bigger chord in terms of racism and, while undoubtedly a useful box ticking exercise, I still maintain SRTRC has made little or no contribution to its stated objectives. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
