When Charities Don't Want Charity

[naomi24]

A group of rugby players who have been supporting a hospice been told that their attire is now unacceptable. Why? Because it might offend LGBT people. The chaps have chosen to support a different charity next year.

Deskdiary // Despite the mealy-mouthed justification for the apparent potential to cause offence //

Shall I translate that? "Despite the fact some people can actually see the other side of the argument, despite feeling those who complained were no more than virtue signalling"

[Deskdiary]

I didn’t feel it needed translating, but if it makes you better to do so, then fill your boots.

A culture clash.

In the left corner, Mr It’s PC gone mad.

\\ Vulcan,
They say they receive complaints in a previous year. Not might, or potentially - they got complaints.//
Gromit, thank you for pointing that out, I see it is mentioned in the blue highlight which I hadn't read initially. I still think it odd though, having mentioned previous complaints, they still said potentially and might be, offensive.
