Comment | Town Issue Statement on Morsy Armband Stance
at 17:53:04
I have to say that as a gay fan who follows the club home and away I have found the comments here really worrying. I obviously disagree with Morsy not wearing the armband but ultimately that is his choice so I can't see what the club can do about it beyond what they have. What is concerning is the presentation of his action by some posters (seemingly very popular posts at that) as some sort of heroic act - against a "deranged", "attention seeking" minority and indeed taking on the "mainstream media".
It really saddens me that so many of you see it this way. I personally do alter my behaviour because I'm a gay fan: I would not attend a game with a partner, for instance (or at least not openly interact with them in a way that would give this away) and I can't see that being the case for those of you in straight relationships - this is why the attention-seeking/virtue signalling critique is so preposterous to me, attention is the last thing I would personally want!
I think a little empathy could go a long way here in our discussion as a fanbase on this (comparing being gay with holding beliefs/opinions strikes me as lacking this: one is an ascribed characteristic and one is not). Sad to say I'll go to Portman Road tomorrow night feeling slightly less comfortable. COYB |
