In his latest, Mr_Dolf looking at some perspective for NUFC fans, WEFoodbank, whataboutery and a bloke from Kent NUFC
Saudi Arabia PIF, whataboutery, local pride, the foodbank…and a bloke from KentA lot has been said this week about the amazing move made by NUFC, via the Newcastle United foundation, to donate £150k to the West End Foodbank, some of it stunningly uncomplimentary for such a terrific gesture.
The guys there delivered an excellent talk on the current situation, pointing out a large consignment of coffee that had been purchased to boost falling supplies using money from the NUFC fansIf anyone wondered how it works, the main supply line relies on donations from the public and businesses. However, the foodbank uses its own cash flow to help with additional needs and boost supplies that are running dangerously short.
We have also heard the familiar old argument of how this is another example of sportswashing, that well-used stick to beat all thingswith. There has been an ongoing argument about this since last October of course, with the justified observations from the likes of Amnesty drowning in the echo chamber of bitter opposition fans with newly developed moral compasses. In this matter, it sums up how they rarely consider the bigger picture, or to be more precise, the provincial picture.
It sounds snooty…but this kind of TV spectator has far too much of a voice. A couple of the prominent journalists who keep sticking the boot into Newcastle United are fans of Liverpool or Man Utd, with no connection to those cities. They believe we only want their place in the Champions League and that is unforgivable in the face of Saudi human rights.
