Someone I know on facebook has put £100 on "blacklivesmatter" as first goalscorer in a Prem game.
Apart from the fact it's a disgrace against the movement, how on earth would this work? Even if they have "blacklivesmatter" on the back of their shirts, that's not their name!
Has he just thrown away £100? I do hope so. |  |

I don't get how a man as 'hipster' as Dollers can be bafflingly ignorant of some things. I mean, I got that one and I live in Glemsford. |
...by it all.
Lambert out. |  |

God Dollers, just wait till you find out that people on Bury Council throw away letters from Saab owners who've had their cars damaged by potholes.... [Post edited 18 Jun 2020 21:40]

I have to say I'm not getting the 'police lives matter' thing at all. Was that a deliberate provocation or is he just a bit, extremely, pig-ignorant thick?
But the other thing about the shirts is innocent enough - it really does seem to be simple reference to the shirt 'names' and hedging one's bets.
It's not a great joke admittedly, and I can't see it winning many awards. |
In answer to your first point, it's both.
He's also a Boris lover and regularly defends him.
Again, I'm astonished that someone could think a joke about Black Lives Matter (in any context, but especially now) would be acceptable. | |

What has any of this got to do with a 'joke' about the Black Lives Matter movement?
I can't believe what I'm reading on TWTD. | |

Because it's not about the movement. At all. In any way.
It's obviously just a take on the words on the back of the shirts.
As I said, it's no Edinburgh Festival stuff, certainly.
Edit: the bloke does sound a knob though.
Removing him is your best bet, and that's for supporting Johnson alone. [Post edited 18 Jun 2020 21:40]

How can it NOT be about the movement? It's the literal NAME of the movement.
We all know what the name means, we all know what it stands for, we all know what has gone on (particularly in recent times) to black people. And now a movement to fight back is fine to make jokes about?!?
I'm clearly in a minority here. To my mind this is clearly taking the piss out of Black Lives Matter. If you can't see that, and others in this thread can't see it either (and I appear to be in a minority of one) then this forum is clearly not the place for me.

A friendly word - fighting your corner like a Terrier with a bone that won't let go can be an admirable trait - but not when the Terrier has got hold of The Wrong End Of The Stick.
You'll probably not take any notice, as you didn't of Sitters' and Jeera's explans, but it's a betting on football thing - #BlackLivesMatter being on the back of all 22 players' shirts meant that whoever put money on the first scorer bearing that "name" on the back of the shirt, meaning that the gambler would be guaranteed to win. Except of course that the bookie wouldn't have accepted the bet. It was a jokey play on words, any phrase on the back of all 22 shirts could have been used the same way. Nothing whatsoever to do with racism or the actual movement #BlackLivesMatter. |  |

Dolly my man, you know I'm a rabid lefty bumfester, so keep that in mind when I say the following...
I don't see a lot wrong about the joke. I mean, I'm not laughing at it either but I see it as just a dad joke about the writing on the shirt and not in anyway related to mocking the very genuinely needed BLM movement.
I think you should stick around. |  |

Aye. If it was East Anglian Air Ambulance on the shirt or something it wouldn't be taking the pish out of the service if you bet on them to score first.
It's just duff bantz for your hard of thinking fella. It's the kind of thing someone like Bullard would call 'legendary'. Nothing to get worked up about. | |
