    "86% of people think homophobic remarks are acceptable. Now for the other 14%. Lace up to keep it up."

    Am I reading this incorrectly or does the article look like we're wanting to encourage the other 14% to use homophobic remarks?

    And there it is, be nice if they proof read things before publishing. I'm available at reasonable rates.

    Tell you what, I am absolutely repulsed by the majority of replies to their social media posts about this (especially on facebook)

    I think that 14% might be low for our football club, and that makes me ashamed.

    What I can't understand is why this is a bad thing?

    It doesn't impact any one's life in any way. Not one jot.

    The homophobes doth protest too much, methinks. To paraphrase Bill Shakespeare.

    Ironically the people asking “why is this needed” proving why it’s needed…

    That's a really bad mistake. We stopped proof reading long since, because it happens regularly.

    I noticed the replies section on Instagram last night, to a picture of a rainbow corner flag just as I got to the ground, and it was an absolute bin fire.

    Imagine being triggered by a rainbow. What a sad existence.
