Really shocked at the shitty, dismissive, negative attitudes of some in here.
ANYTHING that raises awareness and shows care toward the culture of murder that has washed through the youth culture is a good thing.
People commenting snarky remarks how it ‘won’t make any difference’ etc while sat on their fecking anuses on a footy forum are the
same cnuts in that thread complaining about ‘modern players being unlikeable’!
Maybe Arsenal, at a grass roots level, just actually CARE about what’s happening in their community. Maybe the young Arsenal players care.
And I’m sure any member of society that has been affected by it will think it’s an important thing to do and welcome the acknowledgment.
And that ‘affected’ might ‘just’ be raising kids amongst the fear of teen murders, or being a young lad and having to avoid ANY type of confrontation like a fist fight etc (something other generations could do) because it can so easily now equal murder.
Of course Arsenal can’t cure teenage murder - THEY’RE A FOOTBALL CLUB FFS. But they should be commended for being connected to the community and doing something to raise awareness of an issue that is plaguing the working class youth in Britain right now.
If all you’ve got to offer is snarky remarks and shitty takes on the topic of young people being killed and injured on the streets of Britain, for goodness sake, just shut the feck up.
