Kick Racism Out of Football

[Guest]

The website monitor of the Football League has advised the Club that comments made on Shrimperzone on the subject of Luton's populace were considered to be racially offensive.

Whislt considering that we have no control over your site's content you do utilise, without authority, the Club's badgeand to that extent it may be inferred that these comments and content maybe suppoted by the Club. I make it clear that the Club Directors, Management and staff do not support these views and wholeheartedly support the Kick Racism Out of Football Campaign.

Please would the moderator of Shrimperzone pay particular attention to these sort of issues. Your cooperation would be appreciated.

I fully agree and whilst we are about it, let's also kick out people who cannot spell "Whilst" and "supported" and do not leave a space between the words "badge" and "and".

I always thought that SZ carried a disclaimer .

Exactly. Anyone can complain to me or Leeboy if need be.

We wholeheartedly support both the anti-racism stance and free speech. It's a conundrum.

At the end of the day, we can only moderate if it's really out of order or there's been a complaint.

We do however take the views above on board and will strive to be more aware of the racism issue.

After all, we're not Frank McLintock.

Strange, In my recollection the initial comment that kicked off the debate wasn't actually racist although an inference could be drawn from it.
I also recall a large number of people protesting that racist views are unacceptable. IMHO better to let people discuss the topic rather than use heavy handed scare tactics to stifle any debate.

This website is clearly independent of the club so it's stretching things at bit far to infer that people may think the views expressed constitute the views of the club's staff & management.

Maybe the badge should be removed from the SZ homepage so we can continue to exercise our right to freedom of speech, alternatively SZ could become a sanitized, politically correct website where only "officially approved" discussions can take place.

Anyone for censorship?

Yes. Too much free speech is a bad thing.

But what if they bump into each other around the house? Then you'd have some explaining to do. Sounds like a silly idea to me.
