[Football] That Crystal Palace banner

[Milano]

Sorry where is the racism in that banner?

 

[Munkfish]

Police involved. What utter shit. The Saudis can go **** themselves. Wankers.

On a NUFC forum, a couple of posters have said because it darkened the skin of the Saudi.

In fairness, others have said it wasn’t racist in the slightest.

Isn't every accusation on the banner true?
I can't see how any complaint can be upheld.

 

[Quinney]

Great banner, should be on show every Newcastle away game

Shame we didn’t have something similar for City

Anyone would think there might be a bit of jealousy combined with resentment at a relegation candidate getting unlimited funding rather than real concerns about dodgy owners/oil money corrupting the game ....

Good on em and I hope other fans do the same.

Ridiculous. Middle Easterners generally have darker skin than westerners, that's just fact.

You’d think maybe at the moment the police would have other things to prioritise….. is free speech no longer a thing?
I dread to think what threats and new rules our club will dream up for this fixture in a fortnight.

Great factual art

No doubt. I’d say Newcastle fans wearing tea towels on their heads is more racist and at worst ‘cultural appropriation’.

**** em. Hope they go down.

The ruling murderers do.

The best thing that Crystal Palace fans have done in their entire history.

 

[albionalbino]

Top work from Palace. I hope we show our feelings when they visit.

 

[dadams2k11]

Well done to them on this. [emoji122][emoji122]

Police involved? Racist? [emoji23][emoji23]

The world's gone mad![emoji2369]

Good for them protesting. Hope we do something too. A few caveats about the banner though. Some of the textual information is spot on but the design is tacky and the caricature could be seen as stereotypical and therefore racist. I hope we do it better.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Bloody brilliant from the Palace fans.

 

[e77]

Good on them.

If we borrow it when we play Newcastle it will really send a message.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Borrowing that banner and displaying it at The Amex would be a great way of showing that despite being bitter rivals we can stand together with Palace on human rights.
