Tykes TV accused of being racist. Having watched these lads for quite a while, I have never heard them ever being racist. James and Luke have my full backing after listening to the comments. They're now thinking of packing it all in.
They have a good thing going there and typical keyboard warriors making ***** insinuations. The fact they had to contact the police and BarnsleyFC shows what kind of a weekend they’ve had, and you wonder why mental health is rife at the minute. @whitey I hope they have the full backing of the club.
Not really keen on watching Tykes TV, but that's clearly not a racist slur. Hope that justice prevails and they can get back to doing what they obviously love.
What was apparently said? Apologies if its on the video, but I'm not watching 13 minutes Fwiw I like Tykes TV and the lads doing it are clearly very passionate about the club and usually call things as they are, football-wise. I was very grateful for their matchday vlogs pre-Covid when I couldn't go.
He said “w*nk *******” some people heard it as “black *******” he had reacted to a football result and a bet he had placed on it not going to plan. He definitely said “w a n k” Listen to the video above at about 3mins in.
Watch from 2:55 for a minute - that's the bit. It's clearly not racist. Sad for them about this - completely unjustified.
I suppose if you heard it at the time it could sound like what was accused. And it did need to be highlighted. However, I watched the explanation video and it's clear that wasn't said. Hopefully this will now be put onto whatever site highlighted it.
Keep going with your channel lads. Nothing racist was said and it's clear as day on the footage that nothing bad was said. Don't listen to the keyboard warriors and I am sure our club will get back to you with their full support.
Keep going lads after listening what was said the only people who should take offence if anybody is the Newport players. Absolutely bizarre what people complain about.
Why is it bizarre that people complain about racist language , particularly as its an ongoing issue in football( I know in this case it wasn't, but that is what they thought they heard presumably?)
Ill be honest from this view it does sound racist But hearing it slow it dont. Although on the video i posted i dont hear the Orange ****
100 % correct. I watch this channel quite often, and enjoy it; they seem a decent bunch of lads. Really hope they continue. Apologies are due from those making false accusations, but I do realise that would be too much to expect.
do not think this helps putting this on here if James is having mental problems,James seems a great lad ,no way he is racist
It explains what some people thought they heard but now an explanation has been given. All that's needed now is for that to be added to the original accusation.
