Westminster Council Apologizes to Millwall Over Racism Pamphlet Gaffe

0:00On April 23, Westminster City Council just issued a full apology to Millwall Football Club over a wild mistake and an anti-racism pamphlet for school kids. They slapped the club's logo right on a cartoon, Ku Klub's clan member, which sparked major backlash. The leaflet was put together by a council employee to teach children about racism's history. It aimed to highlight hate groups, but ended up linking Millwall directly to white supremacists in a pretty insensitive way. Millwall called it out as false and straight-up damaging to their image. Fans in the club made it clear, this pains them wrong, especially since their grounds in South Bramansi, and they've got no ties to that kind of hate. Council stepped up quick, confirming they'll stop printing anymore copies, and destroy everything they've got left. The pamphlet also spotlighted Paul Cannonville, Chelsea's first black player back in the 80s, who faced ugly racist abuse on the pitch, including, during a match at Millwall.

1:00Millwall still mulling over legal action, while other groups like Kensington and Chelsea Council stay quiet for now. This mixup shows how easy it is to fumble serious topics, so fingers crossed they get it right moving forward.
