Bohemian FC New Away Jersey - Refugees Welcome

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Is refugees welcome a charity like?

Amnesty International is charity.

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

Just a marketing campaign to put the club in a good light. Sadly just taking advantage of refugees

Cynical post. It’s Amnesty international.

They should put their name on the shirt then

Cynical post. It’s Amnesty international.

Poor marketing. It does look a bit virtue signally like. They should have had Amnesty international as the logo

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Virtue signalling is what you're looking for

Unless whoever made this decision are actually making efforts to house refugees in which case good luck to them

Are the club actually doing something about it or just sticking it on their shirt?

Is virtue signalling always a bad thing?

No there's different levels to it.

This one seems weird cos it should have been the charity.

Just saying that... its as good as putting world peace on your top or something

Yep very cynical

What would you like them to do? What have SAFC and Charlton done for Children with Cancer? What did Barca do for UNICEF?

I imagine all the of the above have used their shirts to raise awareness and highlight issue.

A great deal, I expect.

The day we consider not welcoming refugees [the clue's in the name – 'a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster'] a political statement is the day that a society – and humanity – has utterly failed.

I'm not sure why, but a word was missing somehow.

 

[ontap]

Why?? It happens in the world everyday, politicians do it everyday, are you that stupid?
If Tesco sponsored them, would there be a thread on here??

Man you really plumbing the depths here .

Amnesty International - didn’t they refuse to intervene in cases of gays being mistreated, imprisoned and executed up until around the early 80s, essentially endorsing homophobia?

 

[Jonesy57]

Come on mate. You’re talking to the bloke that thought BBC Alba was for the lads in Tirana. He’s hardly famed for his critical thought

That was a funny thread

OH SHIT, HAVE I SAID THE WRONG THING, SNOWFLAKE

 

[ajryan86]

Maybe it's a way to get some new players... Our scouts should take note.

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Great charity. I'm SAFC are associated with them.

 

[englishman abroad]

So is Amnesty International. That's who are sponsoring the jersey.

So is Amnesty International.

Its been added to the terror watchlist by Priti Patel. It won't belong before Bohemians on the same list once she sees that shirt

 

[Sallycinamon]

Neither is "Refugees Welcome" , to anyone with half a brain.

Of course it is. Maybe not to you but to many others it is.

Well don't you seem an absolutely delight.

I’m just not naive.

Amnesty International is charity.

Refugees welcome isn’t though

Explain then?

As I said, Irish people were once in the same situation and received the same treatment. There has been a raise in racism in the country too.

IMO, offering a save Haven to people who are fleeing a warzone isn't political. It's humane.

If it is political then so is the poppy, Kick It Out and the Stonewall campaign.

 

[North of the Smoke]

A beautiful show of tolerance imo, will there be a cherry picking version to truly reflect the underwriter?

 

[klcat]

.Maybe they're expecting another war, sending hundreds of thousands more of them into Europe.
