Davefevs Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 3 hours ago, Red Alert said: Serious knicker twisting on here, yes it’s a bit out of order using the C word. But it is a betting site for over 18s. It’s a betting company that sponsor my football club (and others I think) that have a bit more of a moral obligation to not tweet stuff like this. It doesn’t offend me, but I still think it’s inappropriate. 3 hours ago, Fuber said: Ultimately this is a betting firm (i.e. 18+) aiming at an adult audience on a social media platform where the minimum age is the same. While I agree the tweet is poor taste, and they likely could have used a differing bootlegger clip, can't say I really see the issue. Not exactly as if Lego has gone and posted it. Twitter is 13.

KegCity Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 It’s unprofessional, but is it really worth the uproar? Saw this all before when they used a picture of Dean Windass when discussing play-off goals, the admin hasn’t thought it through and it’s been deleted. Calling for the club to cut all ties with them over a tweet is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Isn't the world a very odd place to live right now? You literally can't say, joke, imply anything without someone being offended. Hasn't it gone too far? I get finding a solution to bullying and causing distress...but are we now no longer able to joke? I find it amusing that people can be pompous about something that is joked about 'officially'...but more than likely go down the pub and joke with abandon without judgement Call yourself a comedian...stand on stage and say whatever you want, and people will pay ££££'s to laugh with you....then walk outside and tell your mate you can't say the same in public It's a fecked up world.

People say "You can't joke about anything anymore". You can. You can joke about whatever the **** you like. And some people won't like it and they will tell you they don't like it. And then it's up to you whether you give a **** or not. And so on. It's a good system. People take offence with any/every thing now. You say one thing you're a snowflake, then the same people calling them snowflakes get upset about a comeback and get called gammon's. As you say, very odd place.

City Rocker Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I've just read through the thread and can't see anyone being offended here. Personally I'm a big fan of 'the c-word', due to it being big, clever, hard and interesting, as all schoolboys well know. That said, any business that thinks it a good idea to use it as part of their marketing / social media output is a daft ******* **** imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us just think it’s completely unprofessional That's my point...you can say one thing as public, another as business, another as an individual. You can be a 'Professional' comedian and say whatever you want. Public will pay and laugh. Say the same thing outside of that and it's ' Unprofessional'.

But having managed social media accounts for companies larger than this (and having worked in marketing for betting & gaming) a lot of what they do is reactive and probably would be left at the discretion of the social media “manager”, if that’s even what the person’s primary job role is.

Don't you think it's more ' weird' how people find time to comment on such things, that in the big picture of life's struggles, mean very little? Tbh...taking the time to comment on forums is properly really weird if you think about it. Using your words...'strange and weird'.... probably sums up forums tbh. It seems to be a place on all fronts, not just this one, where certain people feel they are able to engage with people properly, yet struggle face to face. Seen it first hand a couple times where the forum user is eloquent online but socially inept in real life. Say one thing and with knowledge online but in real life pretty much mute or no opinion.

Depending on your circumstances. I'm self employed, answer to no one, and literally laugh daily at what life throws at us. I've not got HR or colleagues constantly looking for a reason to be offended. I do however meet a bunch of people from all walks of life...who all seem to say the same thing...that we are being told what to say and think, that is pretty much different to what the man on the street thinks.
