Because his flag doesnt make the club look like a modern day global brand, and the rainbow does.
Do you think Gay Rights is ploitical? Because thats what the flag is a symbol of.
Personally, if I was Gay Rights activist, Id find it quite insulting that people were dismissing the flag as just a pretty. gay, colourful bit of material.
Its a very powerful symbol, used in demonstartions aimed at challenging human rights laws.
Do people not take it seriousley simply because its a rainbow? Its not about Jeffrey and Bungle people, its about human struggle, overcoming persecution and being treated like a equal citizen. Not political enough for you....?
ITS THE FUCKING LGBT SPURS FLAG.
Let me spell it out for you.
This is a fan group, created to encourage a safer and more welcoming environment for l's b's g's and t's at white hart lane.
THIS
is the flag representing the pride movement. Its intent was merely as a banner under which all the LGBT's could unite, the different colours are to express the diversity of the LGBT community.
They are not the same, they do not represent the same thing. Please understand this.
I actually agree with this, btw. You've just expressed yourself terribly.
I have read the whole thread thinking ticket was a euphamism for jizz?

LOL....The Spurs logo doesnt mean the rainbow flag does not represent equality gay rights anymore.
Are you suggesting the rainbow is pure coincidence??????????????
Maybe the club will allow the Star of David as long as it has a cockeral on it..?

No, Ive expressed myself consistently but you, Benjamin and Tucker flew off the handle and hysterically accused me of being some kind of homophobe, because I oppose the club allowing one political flag when they have banned all others.
Now you are claiming the two flags are different, as opposed to your earlier claim that the rainbow flag wasnt a political flag.
Talk about backtracking....I suppose a swastika is neutral if you put a football emblem next to it too.
Or MAYBE you've done a shit job of making your point?
If you think the club is allowing the LGBT spurs flag for the wrong reasons just say that. Whether or not it was on purpose you've come across as an idiot and a homophobe.
The flags arent the same. Australia has a union jack in its flag, but you dont think of australia when people mention great britain. I doubt people are going to be waving the LGBT spurs flag at gay pride either. They're two different flags for two different groups. Lumping them together just makes you look ignorant.
Nope. I said the Rainbow flag is political and the club are hypocrites for allowing it. Clear as daylight.
You clearly understood, because you have been arguing that it is not political. My stance hasnt altered.
I did. Over, and over, and over again.
And you've come across as a hysterical moral fuckwit who thinks I sound homophobic because I said:
and
and
You clearly have no idea what homophobia is, if my posts sound homophobic to you.
Separating them as if the rainbow on the Spurs version is simply a neutral, conicidental mish mash of pretty colours, that has nothing to do with Gay Rights, makes you sound like an total, and complete knob.
Thats a bit like saying the Anarchist symbol is not political because they dont believe in a system
Yes, I deleted my post for a similar reason.
This whole thread reminds me of this beauty...
I personally don't think a flag is political unless it has some sort of slogan or message on it. Otherwise a flag is just a banner for a group to unite and recognise each other by. If the group it represents is "political" thats one thing but the flag is an inanimate object, it can have no agenda. Anyway, being political isn't a bad thing. Being controversial, thats something else entirely. If someone displayed a palestinian flag, or a tibetan flag... or a Korean unification flag, thats very different. As I've said many times, this flag isn't a pride movement flag, its an LGBT SPURS flag. All LGBT SPURS stand for, is like... gays and lesbians that like going to tottenham matches. They have no political agenda. They have no ideals. They just wanna meet up and go to the football together. Politics do NOT come into, in the slightest.
Even the pride movement isn't really that political. Its not so much laws they fight for, not in this country at least, in some countries the pride flag would get you killed and then it takes on an entirely different meaning. Here though, its more of a moral thing than a political thing. Its about acceptance and understanding more than freedom from persecution. Not now gay marriage is legal anyway. If the pride flag had "let gays marry" on it, it becomes political... but the pride flag alone just means you're accepting of, or are LGBT.
Anyone that considers the pride flag political is suspicious to me. Its just a symbol, thats all. The way you look at that symbol depends on your views of the thing it represents. To the best of my knowledge, there have been no recent wars, uprisings or demonstrations by the LGBT community. Certainly not any that have caused controversy.
