A quick google shows Walmart advised employees to use Happy Holidays when greeting customers, advice which was then withdrawn. That was 21 years ago.
Anything more recent?

Course not, they have been victims of the algorithm, screaming at clouds because of lies about Christmas Trees not being called Christmas Trees in Tesco or Cadburys not selling Easter Eggs anymore

Where can’t you say Merry Xmas any more?

My old company (I left right before last Christmas, ironically) was super keen to celebrate Hannukah and Eid and Ramadan etc, but at Christmas time it was very much 'happy holidays' rather than Happy Christmas. In their internal emails and their external comms. They had a lot of US staff and Jewish senior directors.

Tbh it was naive if the club couldn't anticipate the reaction this would get.
Talking about the best digital experience in world football when we're all watching a sh!tshow of actual football.
Promoting the new tech that allows selfies to be taken in your seat - far too much of that now anyway.
The 365-days-a-year destination - makes perfect sense to me to have a stadium that can generate revenue all year round, but it feeds into the "the club don't care about the football side of things" narrative.
I appreciate there was a timeline in place to release the new app software but the timing and wording of the announcement could only have been worse if it had come as we were literally being relegated.

I saw another one yesterday that I can't find now from someone else at the club who was talking about an award or something he had won.
I think it was a personal post rather than tied to the club, but again, the timing is just a bad look.
Yes fans should be more grown up about these things, but it's pretty emotional and volatile at the moment. The club should be able to read that.

On Linkedin though a professional network dedicated to business? I think its more a case fans can't separate the two, than this being tone deaf.

A guy not involved in football operations is allowed to be proud of the work he is doing and in that circle is right to share professional wins from within his job. I get that football is emotional, but people should be able to tell the difference.

Its like me abusing a vendor on the concourse because despite the football, they might just like their job.

Its 2026, not 1996, I think some fans need to grow up personally, yes a hard ask in a season like this, but still
