Offensive banner in the away end just mentioned on BT?

NSFW

It's completely brainless taking that to the ground. I was gonna say especially in the current climate, but in any climate. It's obviously racist, on the lower end of the scale but still clearly racist, perpetuating a stereotype about black men.

[Buzzo]

Yeah, it’s one of those where whomever made it may not appreciate quite how racist it is, but it’s horrendous on many, many levels. Extremely racist, and extremely inappropriate to for a game that is supposed to be for everyone and broadcast around the world.

Education required. Embarrassing and indefensible.

It's also not as harmless a stereotype as most people think. Thread elaborating - [ame]https://twitter.com/AdamRutherford/status/1174099547703955456[/ame]

That’s a ****ing idiotic banner. At what point would you think that’s a good idea?

[brightred]

He lost the ball pretty far from goal to someone he didn't see coming, but it was a good goal, they took it well. A bit dopey, but the idea that it was a Lovren 'crisis'/him being a headless chicken is weird.

I fairness, he can be a bit headless.

[frank the tank]

****in dopes.

I saw a picture of the two young fellas with it on Twitter. They looked ****in stupid with dopey smiles on their faces.

How do **** do you even start a conversation about doing a banner of a giant black cock?

[Fosterbloke]

Totally inappropriate, I hope some bans are issued. They're bigger bell-ends than the one they're holding up..

[Exiled_red]

Offensive and totally stupid. Why design and make a banner like that? Even if you put aside the racial element any banner with a picture of a cock on is going to get taken down by stewards.

I agree with the sentiments suggest earlier, I think education should be dished out to whoever is deemed responsible for that. I mean its just juvenile and bloody embarrassing. When I looked it up to see what it was, and that image come up, my immediate thought was surely not, ffs. I agree with that the people who made that don’t release how offensive it is and have no clue they are being racist. The club can make a brilliant statement by banning them from the grounds until they attend some educational program to show them the error of their ways

Exactly. Of all the banners you could choose to make, you choose that one. Odd.

Apparently it's been at away games for a long time now. Shame no one had stepped in already to explain why it's wrong.

[Nicey]

I mean what the actual **** ... imagine you are at the game with your kids and that ****ing thing gets unveiled.
