That Delaney bloke is a fucking weapon.
The fact is that preventing human right abuses is something that all people should agree on. He starts off on the correct footing. However, his means of getting his point across shows him up as hypocritical and opportunistic, who seemingly uses human rights to take cheap shots at certain football clubs.
If he went after our owners and made the distinction between Abu Dhabi and City, then I’d wager that a lot of blues would actually support his message. Yet he is the one who deliberately conflates the issue to be the fault of City and the fans.
The moment you start accusing fans of supporting human rights abuses, for following the club they have supported long before the takeover, then expect some form of backlash.
However, and this is the crux of the issue for me and why I will call these journalists out as hypocritical ****s, is that they stoke the flames of the argument. They are the ones with the accusational tones towards the fans and they are quick to use online comments by a small group of mentally ill or backwards fans as the voice of all City fans.
The nature of their approach makes me believe that the issue of human rights is more of a stick used to beat City with and appeal the the Rags and Dippers than the actual cause they are supposed to support.
