• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Just don't boo, simple innit.

Aye, it's not hard to fathom things out.

To paraphrase
"Think of how stupid the average person is and then realise that 50% of people are stupider than that"

Taking the knee is not going to change endemic racism and never will in my opinion. In fact, the booing has increased over time.

As for booing it - those individuals who choose to do that have as much right to boo as those who choose to applaud. It's a different argument morally obviously.
 
What drives someone to boo, if they’re not racist? You don’t have to clap players demonstrating against inequality, but what excuse is there to boo?

I have read on numerous occasions that people making racist remarks are not the problem, rather that those calling it out are. The same poster claims not to be racist, whilst also trotting out ‘all lives matter’, fully knowing the negative connotations within the context.

These type of people are stinking out these boards and our club.

Spot on.

They must be booing their tv’s over there because most of them don’t even go to the games.

I did notice booing in the east for the first time during the Cardiff game. Some people are feeling empowered, it’s genuinely heart breaking to see what’s happening on these boards being reflected in the stands. We were brought up to be better than this. I suppose it’s all about internet traffic at the end of the day, to hell with principles.

For me it's all about having access to the views of fellow racists that they didn't have access to before social media. They just seem to be repeating what their fellow racists are saying parrot fashion - "all lives matter", "marcsists", "I'm not racist but..(something very racist)", "MSM", "I've done my research". It's almost as if they don't have a brain to come up with they're own stuff...
