If I think the thing that will hurt you the most is to call you a blade, I might call you a blade. If I knew this were wrong I might not do it or only do it under extreme provocation. It is possible to say this even if I know you are an Owl. It is possible to say this even if I don't believe you are a blade. The same is possible with racist words. Is that not true? The words you say are not always what you are. I really don't get the point you are trying to make here. Calling a Wednesday fan a blade is nowhere close to calling someone of a different culture or race a shamefully derogative name; actually its role reversal isn't it. I have welsh family so if you call me an irish **** I am less likely to be offended than I would be if I was actually Irish? either way that anology doesn't make sense to me. I just really hope whatever happened either way gets dealt with appropriately and justly. I don't believe the club would have released that statement if they really thought it happened.

It wouldn't happen. When do Wednesday complain about anything like that. Why didnt they put a formal complaint on the kick to Tom Lees. Because we get walked on ,sh*t on and we just don't want to cause any waves. But its ok for others to complain about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't retaliate and call him anything racist in return, I actually found it quite amusing to be honest. There is no doubting that I am a complete b3st4rd, but white-faced was quite an insult - my face is as brown/red due to the heatwave as it has ever been! I didn't ring the police, have a breakdown or get my knickers in a twist about it, I did however get my cricket bat out when he refused to leave the shop - so I suppose it's horses for courses, who knows how any of us would react in the situation...... This is how an adult reacts to name calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 "If someone hasn't said anything racist in 10 years but blurts it out in the heat of the moment, that doesn't make him a racist" "If someone hasn't murdered anyone in 10 years, but stabs someone in the chest in the heat of the moment, that doesn't make him a murderer" Let's at least be consistent, yeah?
