The pro camp will become further marginalised in the coming weeks/months as local, national and international support against the name change grows.
The pro camp have no credible response or position to fall behind. They will be rightly branded shallow; traitors; agents of materialism; the scourge of football and tradition; and the gruesome portrayal of football’s fat and faceless future.
Thus, many will jump ship to the anti camp in the coming weeks.
Why?
By and large, the pro camp is a rag-tag band of the scared, the gullible and the bitter.
For all of their lives they have adopted opinions rather than formed their own. Been told what to think and have been told not to seek reason but to make snap judgements based on superficial considerations – think the politics of personality which is prevalent in Britain today. They are largely a-political and are happy to take whatever is put upon their neighbour or to some extent, themselves.
Naturally, some will stick to their guns. Some will try and revise history to reinterpret their positions.
But whatever happens, these people will be confronted with the deep shame (if they are capable of true feeling beyond a monitory value) that they actively supported the destruction of the historic club Hull City.
I would urge all of those in the pro camp or those who repeatedly tell us that ‘they’re not bothered’ to change sides now.
Give yourself a chance of having that self respect, give yourself the chance of the respect of your peers of having that chance to say – I stood up, did you?
You had a dream, Trotsky, lad?
