Unionist wants GAA jerseys banned from universities

[blewuporstuffed]

TUV leader Jim Allister says students wearing GAA jerseys to university are "creating a substantial chill factor".

More and more Catholic students are opting to don club, county and college jerseys on campus at the north's universities and - claiming to have received complaints from students at University of Ulster - Allister says the proliferation of GAA jerseys in intimidating members of the Protestant community.

A ban could now be imminent...

In response to the Traditional Unionist Voice chief's complaints, UU is to review its policy of allowing students to wear GAA tops, with minister for employment and learning Stephen Farry telling The Irish News that plans have been put in place to develop a good relations policy in conjunction with the Students' Union:

"The University of Ulster has now advised that a working group has been established to develop this policy.

"An action plan has been developed, which will be presented to the relevant university committee in April. The policy will cover inter alia, political expression, culture, language and dress code."

I doubt they could ban GAA jerseys without banning soccer and rugby tops as well. And also, what sort of person over the age of 17 wears football jerseys as a dress code.

This is ridiculous, as usual.

Does Abercormbie and Fitch not create a chill factor for those clothed by San Benardino?

Could people not wear anything with a logo on it?

A member of the tax paying public should be allowed to slap a politician (of any colour) every time they come up with this type of crap. That would soon stop them wasting tax payers money on such drivel.

My favourite is the doll we saw walking down the Ormeau into the Hatfield in September time at about 9 in the evening... Tattyreagh/Eskra/Urney or some shitbag Tyrone Club top she was wearing, tight jeans, clarried in make up and fake tan and to top off the ensemble she was wearing f**king black underarmour!! What's that about!!

I'd ban all the tops, they do in most gyms anyway so what's the problem? We've banned them years ago at work and the students just get on with it

This kind of thing is ridiculous. In universities and gyms all over the world people wear sportswear. And universities in particular have no place banning things, it is not Iran.
