I believe it is this exactly their is among some a lack of pride and a lack of respect for not only the Stadium but the area in general in fact some seem to take pride in how downtrodden and bad the northeast is and at times it really annoys me. Our roots are our roots with hard working strong people who would stand tall and puff their chest out, they would show pride and at times arrogance about their clubs and areas but things like throwing rubbish on the ground a spitting out gum in the street were not tolerated. I can remember my Nana washing her step every Sunday morning and there were people up and down the street doing the same as it was not considered right to have a dirty step at your front door and now we have scruffy dirty that's who can not be arsed to put rubbish in their pockets to put in a bin later.
In the whole scheme of things it is a small thing but it smack of the attitude of today's society, of the I'm alright jack attitude and the let somebody else do it, the quick fix and it is somebody else's problem and of kids being taught about gaming the system rather than how to find a good job and work for what you want. Where has pride and honour gone.
Honour or being an honourable person used to be a thing but in these days of woke agendas and feminist/misogynistic, Racist, homophobic, gendersensitive or any other key words you could think of somebody will always find a way to twist words to suit whatever point they want to make instead of looking to what is meant by the words and the true feelings behind them.
Words can only be offensive when underlying hate and or ignorance is meant.
Honour and pride in the area and Stadium should be instilled in all supporters that sense of pride they often sing about.
'I can't help falling in love with you' you don't treat something you love like that.
Rant owa.
