The people of Liverpool, including those affected by the Hillsborough Stadium disaster, have been subjected to repeated horrific chanting week after week with little support shown by opposition clubs or the Premier League.
Still, it’s important that we recognize those who stand shoulder to shoulder with the city as the trust of Leeds United supporters has done, laying a wreath in tribute to the 97 at the Hillsborough memorial.
Hopefully acts like these can encourage those who display a complete lack of empathy and human decency in such matters to properly educate themselves on the reality of the harm done and the inhumanity of songs meant to mock supporters unlawfully murdered in 1989.
