Saw this online yesterday:

The Crocketeer's account responded saying it was definitely not them and it was completely unacceptable in their section.

I recall omeone had mentioned getting a rainbow flag to brand with a Dark Cloud either in a previous thread or in person. After reading the Tweet I ended up ordering one online.

HooligansFC--what would be the best way to add a cloud to the polyester flag?

Black poly cut out of the dark cloud. Glue on each side with liquid stitches.

30 minutes to glory.

I saw that on twitter as well. Wasn't real happy that @gay4soccer lumped the whole league in with those idiots. I like this idea.

Easiest way, yeah, fabric glue. But you could take your fabric, fold it in half and cut out your cloud thus very easily making two identical clouds. Glue the first one in place, tape it to a window or something, so you can see the first cloud thru the backside, and place the second directly over it. Glue that as well, then stitch the edges. It sews both sides at the same time and adds durability as opposed to the glue that can wear out over time. I'd be happy to take this project on and I could have it ready for the game on the 16th. I'd be great to have at Dark Clouds Over Pride too

What is your plan for the game on the 16th? I'll be up on Friday the 15th for Grandma's on Saturday and could meet up to give them to you then?

It sounds like "gay4soccer" (whoever this person is) is trying to manufactuer an issue.

Actually homophobic and other biggotry is pretty widespread in sports fandom.

There is a great movement called "You Can Play": http://youcanplayproject.org/

FIFA is allowing the World Cup to occur in Qatar which had an American citizen put in jail for 6 months and 90 lashes for the crime of guess what? Being gay.

This is a shameful thing to troll people about buddy. I honestly expected a bit mmore from you.

Qatar does not allow you to drink alcohol and treats women like second class citizens. Yeah, I think they have issues. However, as far as what happened or did not happen down in San Antonio, it seems like something that is manufactured.

I was not there. You were not there. One person says one thing. Another person says another. I think this gay4soccer person or group stepped out of reality by implicating a team and league for the alleged actions of one or a small group of people.

Tell the players on the other team they suck and that their mommy is calling them because it is bedtime. However, leave all the other stuff out of it--unless you are accusing some of diving like an Italian, or telling the fine people from Quebec they are fake Canadians.

PS: When in Rome, do as Romans do...unless you are the most interesting person in the world.
