unsworth blue Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 12 hours ago, League one forever said: Good post. It’s amazing how much easier is it to ignore the off field stuff when you’ve got the makings of a good side with a few goals in them. I am always delighted when Latics win no matter if i am there or not. I am always prepared to give credit where it is due and I feel that this side has some ability though looks very lacking in depth. It will take me a lot longer to get back to Boundary Park, maybe a season of the owners/leaders not making a complete drama out of everything, stopping sacking everyone and actually trying to think about fans requirements or trying to allay grave concerns about how we are being run.

Erm no....but if you are genuinely offended by people taking the knee for a few seconds then Id suggest you are the one with the problem. Can't see why you would be bothered by this.

I'm bothered by it because BLM is a marxist socialist movement that I don't give a shit about and has nothing to do with Latics. The Oldham Athletic Community Trust is a fantastic organisation that works with all local communities that bridges people together through sport. I'd rather have the people involved with that on the pitch before kick off so we can show our support to them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having an opinion doesn't make you right. The bizarre claim that it is a marxist socialist agenda and that BLM are trying to dismantle capitalism merely prove how ill informed the said poster is and are also exactly why campaigns like this exist.

nzlatic Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 With BLM there is a general movement protesting against racial inequality and injustice. There is also a specific organisation of the same name with political aims. I would have thought it was blatantly obvious which one of those the players taking a knee was in solidarity with.

Mmmmmm now there's some milage in that train of thought. I do understand where you're coming from sometimes things can go on to long and there are plenty more injustices in the world to champion. Let it run its course, there is some merit for it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
