•••

Please guys this is extremely important

•••

There are fans that are using the #YNWA for BTS's comeback which obviously stands for "You Never Walk Alone"

•••

Please stop using it

•••

This hashtag is the LiverPool Football club and the hashtag was created years ago

•••

To All Armies:

We don't not have the right to hijack a hashtag that's been used for years and years even before BTS debuted

•••

It does NOT belong to us

•••

I'm pretty sure you guys wouldn't want Football fans to see millions of BTS pictures and trust me, don't underestimate Football fans as they will and can be as crazy as K-Pop fans so please don't use it anymore

•••

You can use the hashtag #YNWA in the ARA community but for Instagram and Twitter or other social medias, stick to #You_Never_Walk_Alone or #YouNeverWalkAlone

•••

Even BigHit/BTS don't use it since they know and respect that #YNWA is not theirs

•••

Please nominate this on the nomination page as this will be extremely helpful since BTS is nearing their comeback and this hashtag will definitely have more BTS pictures every single day and soon it will be flooding with BTS pictures

•••

In case you guys don't know about the Liverpool Football Club, Here's information about it

•••

Liverpool Football Club is a professional association football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

They compete in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.

The club has won 5 European Cups, 3 UEFA Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 18 League titles, 7 FA Cups, a record 8 League Cups, and 15 FA Community Shields.

The club was founded in 1892 and joined the Football League the following year. The club has played at Anfield since its formation. Liverpool established itself as a major force in both English and European football during the 1970s and 1980s when Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley led the club to 11 League titles and seven European trophies.

Under the management of Rafa Benítez and captained by Steven Gerrard Liverpool became European champion for the fifth time, winning the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final against Milan in spite of being 3–0 down at half time.

Liverpool was the ninth highest-earning football club in the world for 2014–15, with an annual revenue of €391 million, and the world's eighth most valuable football club in 2016, valued at $1.55 billion.

The club holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably the North West Derby against Manchester United and the Merseyside derby with Everton.

—————

My thoughts on this + More important information

—————

Please guys, for the sake of BTS, the fandom and even the entire K-Pop fandom don't use this hashtag anymore, it's very insulting and upsetting to the Liverpool Football fans if they see Armies using the hashtag that was created even before BTS debuted. This is something that needs to be addressed and so far I don't see anyone talking about it so that's why I'm taking the initiative to talk about this sensitive topic.

•••

You guys might be thinking,

Why is this is so important?

•••

If you guys don't know why this is an important/urgent issue, They will be having their Premium League at 11.00 pm today and they will be competing with Hull City which means there will be fans that will use this hashtag and will definitely see BTS pictures, and will get upset about it

•••

•••

•••

As you can see, this hashtag is extremely important to the Liverpool Football fans and you can already see one Jungkook picture at the most recent category

•••

You guys might be asking yourself this question,

Why is this song so important to LiverPool Fans?

•••

The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" is extremely common among several other clubs, but 'YNWA' remains enduringly and indelibly linked with Liverpool. So their fan club will eventually find out about this so I suggest we should all stop using this hashtag before it gets worse

•••

The Hillsborough disaster was a human crush at Hillsborough football stadium in Sheffield, England, UK, on 15 April 1989, during the 1988–89 FA Cup semi-final game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. With 96 fatalities and 766 injured it is the worst disaster in British sporting history.

•••

The crush occurred in the two standing only central pens in the Leppings Lane stand, allocated to Liverpool supporters. Shortly before kick-off, in an attempt to ease overcrowding outside the entrance turnstiles, the police match commander chief superintendent David Duckenfield ordered exit gate C to be opened, leading to an influx of even more supporters to the already overcrowded central pens.

•••

The disaster resulted in a number of safety improvements in the largest football grounds, notably the elimination of fenced standing terraces in favour of all-seater stadiums in the top two tiers of English football.

•••

The disaster led to a great deal of negative press about Liverpool supporters who had attended the match that day, as police fed false stories to the press suggesting that hooliganism and drinking by Liverpool supporters was the root cause.

•••

Even though Liverpool fans were blamed, Liverpool fans persisted even after the Taylor Report of 1990, which found the main reason for the disaster was a failure of control by South Yorkshire Police. The Director of Public Prosecutions, ruled there was no evidence to justify prosecution against individuals or institutions.

•••

The Goldring coroner's inquest, lasting from 1 April 2014 to 26 April 2016, is the longest jury case in British history. It returned a verdict that the supporters were unlawfully killed due to grossly negligent failures by police and ambulance services to fulfil their duty of care to the supporters.

•••

The inquest also found that the design of the stadium contributed to the crush, and that supporters were not to blame for the dangerous conditions.

•••

[Credits to Wikipedia for this information, I changed some of the words and added some of my own sentences as well.]

•••

That's why this song is very important to Liverpool fans as they persisted even though they were getting hate and were being blamed for something that they didn't do

•••

To anyone who is curious about the song

Here is a video about the song that is specially for the LiverPool FanClub, it is basically their "Anthem"

•••

You'll never Walk Alone -Liverpool-With Lyrics

•••

It also has over 9 million views on YouTube so it's a very well known song mainly because it has a special meaning to LiverPool FootBall Team and their fans

•••

Other Football clubs may see it as a brilliant song, but it holds a special, unique, and emotional place in Liverpool fans' hearts and Liverpool FC folklore. Its words are an anthem for Liverpool's two most important events in its 120 years of history. Its best and its worst. The highest and the lowest. 2005 and 1989. Hillsborough and Istanbul.

•••

It was on that cold afternoon in 1963 that the greatest anthem ever was born, when the story between a song and a city all began.

If you Armies think that "You'll Never Walk Alone" is just another 1960's pop song and Liverpool fans just happen to sing before each game, then you Armies thought wrong.

•••

This pre-match ritual for LiverPool is the story of a city, of joy and sorrow, pride and humility.

It's a war cry, an hymn of triumph, and occasional pain.

•••

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

is what Liverpool Football club is all about.

•••

"It's iconic to LiverPool fans and the Football team themselves"

•••

•••

This was really a huge issue back then and still is. It has resulted in many lawsuits and as a law student studying in UK, this incident was so huge that it changed a part of the English Tort Law.

•••

There were many cases of miscarriages of justice and many continue to feel the aftermath of the event even to this day, especially those who lost a loved one.

•••

It would have saved our boys and fandom from looking bad internationally. Please don't make our boys look bad by being immature even though of course it's not like they officially own the hashtag, but imagine how we would feel if other fandoms go around saying team work makes the dream work. Conventions apply here whether we like it or not.

[Credits to the commenter who told me more information! I asked her about and she agreed for me to copy this valuable information]

•••

Let's not use a hashtag that means so much for someone else it just wouldn't seem right.

•••

I may not be a Football fan but please do respect them and their fans as this is quite a sensitive topic to talk about infront of Liverpool fans because from what I have heard and asked my Friends in real life who likes Football, they said that they're extremely well known, my friends even admitted that they were a little bit irritated about it since it had quite a lot of BTS pictures and memes, and this song, holds a very special meaning to Liverpool Fans which means that if this issue spreads out, it will make the fandom look extremely bad and it will draw in attention, not in the good way but in the bad way and other fandoms will hate us even more and I'm sure you guys wouldn't want Football fandoms or people who supported and know about Football to hate us right?

•••
