You could have gone with the one posing with a banana earlier on in the thread why do you always try to take it off topic What’s that tattoo about too?

FlyingOwl Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think it’s just easier to not bring them than bring them if it’s something that could potentially cause upset or give the club some out-of-context negative press. Obviously the bananas thing has been going on for god knows how long and we all Know there’s no malice behind it at all. But others don’t. So maybe it’s not worth it. Bring paddling pools instead.

There might one two flying about that will make you cry a bit more In my opinion, people who take blow up bananas to a football match in 2022 are doing more to cause racism. I think what I’m doing, by not backing down on my opinion against a group of lads who don’t agree with me is the right thing to do in this instance. I get that you disagree but I’m not going to stop banging this drum because I believe in what I’m saying and I can back it up with a reasonable amount of intelligence. I’m not just saying don’t take bananas because it’s racist and not backing it up with good reasons is it. I’m explain why I thing people should think again, hopefully some might consider what I’m saying and think again. if I stop 1 person taking a blow up banana on Saturday all this was worth it. Believe me , tonight’s been much tougher for me than you and I’m not resorting to insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapSmurf Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 1 minute ago, DoesJackHunt said: Because it could be construed as being racist due to a load of daft racist chucking bananas at black players in the 70’s and 80’s. it’s in bad taste to take blow up bananas to a football ground. A bit like blacking up for fancy dress. Even if not a racist gesture, in most cases it would be innocent it could be seen as being racist and be offensive to some people. So be mindful and respectful and take a different kind of inflatable, it would be just as much fun and no one could be offended or find it inappropriate. so we aren’t taking bananas because it’s the right thing to do and shows we’ve got a bit of “class” as a fan base. we should take duck but not bananas because it the right thing to do No, it won't be construed as being racist, because it never has been construed as being racist. It's a fvkcing inflatable banana. Nor is it in bad taste to take an inflatable banana to a Wednesday match. And do you want to know why? Because back before I even started supporting us, we had a player called Imre Varadi, whose nickname was Imre Banana - for reasons I just don't know. He's a white guy, born in London. And they used to throw inflatable bananas around. So it's a historic thing. Nothing more, nothing less, and to make more out of it shows your own line of thinking and not that of others. I've never looked at an inflatable banana and thought "ooh, that's been inflated by the breath of an racist". An inflatabe banana is associated with fun. Seriously man, get a grip. You are so wrong with this, it's laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
