Nik Tucker resigns from WHU supporters board
|
|
West Ham's controversial official supporters' board has lost one of its members - Nik Tucker, the away fans rep, has resigned by mutual consent following accusations of antisemitism, homophobia and racism
West Ham statement: “West Ham can confirm that following some of the content on his website being brought to the club's attention by Kick it Out, it was felt by both parties that it was no longer appropriate for Nik Tucker to hold a position on the Official Supporters’ Board..."
Kick It Out statement: “We welcome the fact that within a few hours of receiving the complaints West Ham took swift action and acknowledged that homophobia and antisemitism has no place in football.”

He has been about these boards for years, by all accounts a good lad
I don't get the animosity to be frank, the blokes Jewish and gets the shits about antisemitism, not an unreasonable stance
Well it isn't for someone who isn't antisemetic

I don’t know who dibbed Nik Tucker to Kick It Out, but he’s not racist or anti-semitic. He hastrained boxers of all creeds and colours for years, and they would confirm that.
He represents the last person on this supporters board you can trust to stick up for all original fans; now you just have tail wagging, head nodding lapdogs.

That’s why I was curious
I am going to guess that something on his website used the Y word in relation to Spurs.
Which is a bit short of having skin coloured lampshades in the house and a toothpick moustache

I'd like to know what the offending thing is before jumping to a conclusion. Anyone know precisely what it was?

Well I for one don't trust those kick it out types, that Ousely bloke comes across like the ardent Remainers - have a case but proceed to see shit where it does not exist and then ruins the proper message and puts people off
Oh and as a point of order, I was not accusing this Nik lad of anything, just tossing in my 2 bobs worth about JS

Here you go boys, from the Guardian
'A page on the Crossed Hammers site offering information for West Ham fans about away games against Tottenham showed a photograph featuring a large gathering of orthodox Jews and was captioned: “Shite Hart Lane will be a sell out this season with half-price season ticket discounts”. Another showing orthodox Jews looking in containers that appear to be bins was captioned: “Spurs! The Scousers of London!”
Homophobic language was used to caption a photo of a Brighton fan, and the website described Liverpool as “Bin Dippers” and Cardiff City as “sheep shaggers”. Some of the posts have been deleted.'

Not the most advisable thing to post upon an official forum representing the club, so in these times, I guess he has asked for grief
That said, it's hardly Third Reich material is it?

Thanks for putting that up. All seems a bit juvenile to me for a grown man. Only guilty of being a twerp in my book.

One of the reason I enjoy this site is what we "get away with" saying on here. I don't agree with a lot of it but I can argue against it.
There are people getting visits from police for retweeting jokes and being charged for doing little more.
That said, it was Facebook.
