| Club Statement 15:46 - Sep 15 with 1236 views | janegallagher |
Blackpool Football Club is deeply concerned by posts of a racist nature that have appeared on a fans’ internet forum.
The club adopts a zero-tolerance policy on racism, abuse and all forms of discriminatory behaviour and will report any such conduct to Kick It Out and the relevant authorities.
This applies to any incident that occurs inside the stadium or online. One incident is one incident too many.
Good on you Blackpool fc. 👠It’s amazing how the vociferous ones just keep quiet because it’s a mate.  |  |

If this is the `tangerinewizard` one it was blatantly offensive.
Amazingly some openly and tacitly supported it - although most rightly condemned it.
PoultonBus was surprisingly outspoken in defence of the protagonist, and 2016 did his usual sly implication and retraction nonsense, without having the courage to commit to his true view.
Perhaps a new low for the site... |  | | |

PB is definitely part of a clique who would defend each other whatever.
It was indefensible and the lack of moderation over there is causing real damage in my opinion. | |

The moderation over there has never been objective. | |

It should just be moderated properly. Zero tolerance, whether it’s a mate or not. | |

I appreciate the message but knowing what we know about that site, is it in the Club's best interests to associate themselves with avftt? |  |

I see PB has made an interesting intervention into the AVFTT `racism` debate, with the classic `idiots deflection gambit` as favoured by slow thinking dullards everywhere. Not surprising that this is endorsed by 2016!

It makes me proud that the club I've supported since my childhood is on the same wavelength as me.
I'm in love with a spic and my step children are kikes. I've already faced discrimination against them and defended them in such circumstances, it makes me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
Personally, today's statement is worth more than 3 points, 6 points, or any number of points.
Thanks Simon for giving us a club to be proud of. |  |

Fair play spell but I can't help but see it as a hollow platitude. This racist post isn't a one off but maybe the straw that's broke the camel's back. The club have just responded to the response - if that makes sense?
TAM's on avftt encouraging people to report racist comments. Are we really to believe that people have spent time in Jez's company and haven't picked up on his views but the online fanbase were able to spot it a mile off?
Please excuse my cynicism. | |

Would be good to see a positive outcome with any individuals causing these problems,can see this offender being brushed under the carpet. Not calling for a life ban but a suitable one. Hope Im wrong. | | | |

I'd like to see bans dished out.
It'd be desirable and send a serious message.
Let's see how mouthy they are then. | |

I agree with you Rotts that these associates will know exactly what TW’s real life views are, but there are definitely a half dozen or more that appear to hold similar views and they seem to know and defend each other.
Unfortunately they seem to get license to run amok on avftt. It totally baffles me. | |

Well, you see Lala, they are characters and are fun to have a bit of banter with (as long as you're a white male) and therefore tolerated. | |

Was always going to come back and bite people on the ass was that post. Do they honestly think only a few people read AVFTT?
Glad it got left up for 24 hours so everyone could see its content. No hiding place or excuses for that racist thread now. |  |

Me too LaLa - the moderators need to grow a backbone or get someone to moderate who is totally independent | |

The site should simply ban them like it does plenty of other non bigoted posters.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? [Post edited 15 Sep 2019 20:51]

Being a Mod once for 3 - 4 years on a online gaming message board, it's a thankless task.
However saying that you'd need about 8 - 10 people doing it on there 24/7. Should have been sorted years ago. Was never this bad back then with a lot more posts at the time. | |
