I've seen the club have updated the club crest to the pride colours which if you look has had somewhat of a negative reaction.... Quite worrying to see the club has some rather homophobic followers :-[

The BBC have reacted, blaming Corbyn.

12k reactions, of which over 7k are angry faces. Scrolling through the names of those, I can't not think that some of the recent Trezeguet fan club arrivals on our social media platforms aren't too happy.

That is weird. From this you'd assume that Egypt has a bit of a problem. I blame their mummies.

Ignoring all the complaints there on the basis of religion (which is a whole other topic) I love the "Stick to Football" style comments because they're all being made by the sort of people who like to use the term snowflake a lot and yet a temporary change to the clubs badge on facebook has them triggered.

Just to be clear this seems to be a, somewhat late, sign of support for this - https://www.stonewall.org.uk/our-work/campaigns/rainbow-laces-%E2%80%93-come-out-active-lgbt-equality-sport

I'm sure the majority of Facebook users have very rightwing, homophobic, racial and just generally hateful views. I have left so many groups and blocked so many people on there and try not to go on it al all.

Actually John, I was only saying to a few friends (proper friends) at the weekend half my Facebook account is filled up with people you went to school with, played football with, or had dealings through work and actually when you start seeing some of their views you realise what complete cocks they are. It's very surprising with some people and I find it hard to believe some people I know can be so hurtful and nasty.
I have to remind myself they are not really friends and cull them from my account.
