Re: Homophobic chanting


I've let this post run in the hope that some sanity would prevail and for the most part it has. The club is right to post what it has in regard to discrimination and to take just one quote: shouting "Nancy boys" is an old form of homophobic abuse, similar to yelling "queer" or "faggot", there can be no justification whatsoever for such an action and if the protagonist doesn't realise or recognise that, then they should take a long hard look at themselves and their prejudices. As the club points out, discrimination won't be tolerated, and it also goes against the Rules of Engagement for using this forum. Hopefully a line can be drawn under this situation and we can all agree to consider our own actions and the actions of those around us in order to remove this cancer at an early stage.

Re: Homophobic chanting


Just want to say that I welcome this statement from the club.

I didn't report anything, so it's either the case that they've heard tell of this thread, or others present complained directly to the club.

As a club that prides itself on being embedded in the community and families, here's hoping this means that children and young people following the Moors are free to enjoy the experience without aspects of their identity being belittled by older supporters. That may be to do with hair colour, like Bolda's son, or - as is likely the case - some young fans having the freedom to explore and discover who they are without being subjected to shaming from an unthinking mob mentality.
