So a Richmond & Forward supporter starts the #Hennyderby organically without the club. Make the trophy, content, & everything else without the club, & now the club creates a campaign with merch to monitize off of it without including Richmond or the guy who actually started it??
I know some of the proceeds go to local black organizations but why isn’t that in ANY of the messaging? Why was the person who literally started this whole thing, not involved in the campaign or even knew about any of it at all? And then folks subtweet him for reacting to it?
Of course folks wanna go to bat for their team cause they share a personal connection with them, but that should make you wanna make sure they do the right thing even more, instead of defending & subbing. But I’m just “jealous” a “hater” & everything else their staff called me.
And if we REALLY wanna take it there...this is why it’s frustrating being Black in American soccer. We listen to writers use our vencaulr, talk about our people, & now make profit off something that Black supporters started & aren’t even involved in now.
