Essendon launches (LGBTI) support group – The Purple Bombers and issues a code of conduct to crowd

[peppy la pew]

Its almost as of Essendon is hinting that the Dockers are the Purple ****ters.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

So, theoretically, they are also purple ****s?

I'm glad they the bombers decided they needed to show their love for the great team that is the Fremantle Dockers.

Seriously though, why would they choose a colour which is instantly identifiable as belonging to a rival team? And why do we need a gay pride round? Is it recognise the multitude of GLBT players that have played the game over the years???

I take it that James Hird doesn't like rainbows or the colour pink.

As for cheersquads have a code of conduct, most have for some time now. I got booted from the Fitzroy one when Quit took over as major sponsor and I lit up one day.

Melbourne Storm does not rival Essendon

This is cool. Well done, Essendon. Removing you from the list of clubs I hate now.

 

[dvas987]

Did the purple poufs launch one too?

 

[AtariRose]

They need this as I remember the losers Booing off a stretchered Umpire. They also need a drug code.

 

[Sainter3and7]

LGBTI... where's the Q?
(Q is for self-identified "Queers" and also for "Questioning" people).

If you're going to get on a bandwagon... get on the right name.

Even as an Essendon supporter I can admit that game earlier in season when the umpire was booed as he was carted off was unsavoury

Disgusted by the homophobia in the bay

Quote examples of homophobia in this thread, apart from purple ****s jokes, which are Bay 13 jokes, not homophobic ones.

 

[El Dubya]

leave me alone, troll.

I'm not trolling. I take homophobia very seriously, and I've only skim read a lot of this thread. Where is the homophobia on the Bay?

 

[AsIfYouCare]

It's shit bait, so if you bite you deserve it.

What I don't understand is why clubs need LGBT supporter groups?

Exactly. Why not have a brown-haired supporters group, or a Ford driving supporters group? It does no harm and I'm not against it, but I can't see the point.

Exactly, if there was racism or homophobia in any club sponsored supporters group it would be stamped out.

 

[Packedlunch]

Trust the EFC to segregate their supporters. Disgraceful.

Who cares!

You idiot, it's just general piss taking of the purple ****s.

And we love it.

Don't change s00z

I think we have no choice but to lodge an injunction and sue them.

Haven't seen a tweet from Jason Ball yet...

Bosk Jr seems to avoid coming back here anymore. I'd say its a shame, but it's not really.
