ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Shevin Keedy]

They tried something similar a few years ago with their Dunkin' Donuts sponsorship. Replaced the flames of the JFT96 logo with milkshakes.

There are certainly entities at that club that wish to monetize the tragedy.

Not sure if to laugh or be appalled.

Little bit in poor taste.

Liverpool are not to blame for the 96.

Liverpool are not to blame for the 96.

Obviously made by a supporter of any other football team other than a Merseyside one, I think the general consensus with other fans is that they are.

They're on about 50 with the covid 19 in my book - this sort of stuff isn't helpful to be fair.

Maybe I'm missing something but 96 and 39 equals 135.

I found it to tasteless,I was surprised nothing was said about it

Honestly, were you surprised?

 

[Barca Blue]

Are you for real? They're top of the league by a record number of points but the world is crumbling around them? The other day you were saying their title win was written by Evertonian gods.

I wish I could have some more of what you're on because you are seeing a bed of roses rather than a steaming pile of poo!

 

[jaycee]

Honestly, were you surprised?

To be honest mj,yes I thought one of the support groups or families would have said something for the simple fact it was very poor taste and I feel that the families have been very dignified through it all

 

[PITA]

They got that wrong but so did the majority of people.

Put it this way, they are more often right than wrong and if that wasn't the case they wouldn't be in business.

Yeah I know.

 

[PITA]

It's one of the most infuriating things about them. Hillsborough could have happened to any set of fans in that era it was a combination of poor facilities, fan culture and, at best, neglect from the authorities and, at worst, malice from them. We all remember how both the city and the football world came together in sorrow at the event and anger at the cover up.

To see them over the years try to make it into a brand and part of their glorious myth and to weaponise it whenever they are criticised is sickening. How can you attempt to make money off the deaths of 96 people without even consulting their families?

The last five words in that sentence are superfluous.

 

[anton66]

Very crass,it was an armband,I thought it was disgusting using the 96 as an incentive to win the league,its mean moved from a tragedy and fight for justice to a cash register by the club,and a defense mechanism by so called fans

Definitely. It was like and still is a safety net for them when things go against them.
