Comments on: TCOT WTF? http://paulmackenzieross.com/tcot-wtf/ Stating the obvious since 1970 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:37:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul Mackenzie Ross http://paulmackenzieross.com/tcot-wtf/comment-page-1/#comment-69 Paul Mackenzie Ross Sun, 22 Feb 2009 13:29:38 +0000 http://paulmackenzieross.com/?p=107#comment-69 That poster caught my eye straight away, so simple and yet so perfect. The "kick racism out of football" campaign was a few years ago and the message still continues to be promoted at premiership games today but, most importantly, it's not just a UK issue; Germany have only recently fielded national team players of non-Germanic descent and when England play in Eastern and parts of Southern Europe there are racist receptions to our team over there too, so that should paint a better picture of how the current climate is like at times. As for #TCOT, well, there's not so much of that in my Twitter feeds any more and strangely not so much spam either. That poster caught my eye straight away, so simple and yet so perfect.

And, goodness, TCOT, aye? Their own acronym, how special. It's kinda nice that they're labeling themselves....it makes it easy to identify who to avoid. ;) Yeah, VERY clever poster…but I hadn’t realized racism was becoming that much of a problem in football…yikes!
