I sat down with Reiss to talk about the @addiasfootball x @arsenal No More Red campaign, the experiences he had growing up around knife crime and how football kept him focussed. Last year saw a record number of teenagers murdered in London. Arsenal’s white shirt is a symbol of inspiration and action. It’ll never be made available for sale and is not for profit.

No More Red. Every young person deserves an opportunity. Opportunity to express themselves and the opportunity to exist within a safe environment. Last year saw a record number of teenagers murdered in London. Arsenal’s white shirt is a symbol of inspiration and action. It’ll never be made available for sale and is not for profit. I copied the link to my blog in the description if you want to read more about what we are doing!

Love this Campaign, had abit of knife crime in my area a lot of the past year and I’m from Oxford. People think it’s posh area because of the university but most people who go there aren’t even from Oxford. The estates get crazy and A few of us that have the platform to tell these kids there are better options in life. We just hope they hear us.

Great campaign but these guys are killers who don't care, even if they "support" Arsenal. It'll make no difference without a harsh crackdown, as that's the only language they know. But then you'll hear the cries of "racist system!" and the cycle continues.

Hello Ian, I know you won't see this, but I just wanted to say what a huge impact you made on my life. You were my idol when I was growing up. I loved you. I so wish you had the opportunity to play more for England I believe we would of won something if you were there in those tournaments. What I love about you though is that you were so passionate about playing for England. You transcended boundaries, you wore your heart on your sleeve for Arsenal and for England. You come across as such a nice bloke, and you were a great striker. But the love you have for Arsenal and England just gets me. I think you are one of the greatest players England has ever had, and they didn't recognise it. I wish you and your family well. Love from a die hard Arsenal and England fan Much respect Ian wright wright wright

Super interesting to hear, but also super Sad to realise what these kids go through in the inner cities. I'm a 50y old white guy whose only ever issue was getting beaten up by some older kid on the estate for wearing my arsenal shirt. But that was just once, and we never thought about knives, it wasn't a thing back then.

Lack of discipline, not knowing how to control emotions, fragile egos, drugs and short-sightedness is some of the main problems. Most of these youths ain't learning from past mistakes, so this issue isn't going to get fixed sadly.

Huuuuuge problem in the US some young girls 14-15 years feel like they're adults and get props from friends for even having a baby. Those guys who get them pregnant are gone when they find out. They just end up being "MY BABY'S DADDY". No name he's just called 'my baby's daddy' or 'my baby's father'.

It's not surprising that Arsenal are taking the lead on this. Not only are we a club in London, but we've had 2 players threatened with knives during a robbery. It wouldn't have taken that much for those incidents ending in tragedy. Edit: A fan was murdered on the way to a game as well

Wouldn't it be better if the shirts were for sale and if the money generated would go to the important charities and organisations that work with this problem? Or straight to the kids themselves in order to pursue their dreams? The organisations would get better support in their work from the money the sales would make rather than getting a white shirt. How is that making a difference for them? It's also a win win for the fans because everyone wants this shirt and it would generate so much money for the cause. Am I missing something or??

@franklingoodwin 2 жыл бұрын

I think the p is that these organisations aren't necessarily charities per se so the logistics of where the profits would go to would be difficult in terms of trasparacy. Also you'd get people accusing Arsenal and Adidas of profiting from knife crime

@alfredthegreat9543 2 жыл бұрын

Just saw this on the Arsenal channel. You can understand the peer pressure and thoughts of self preservation when it comes to choosing to carry a knife as RN described. No easy solution to it is there? Everything needs to be on on the table- even including corporal punishment- no matter how distasteful it is, because nothing is worse than what some of these kids and their families have suffered. Obviously some think they're being big and tough carrying a knife too- maybe a campaign where those who carry knives are ridiculed and portrayed as "namby-pambys"- making it not cool to carry a knife. Big financial penalties to the parent(s) if their child is caught carrying? Or any child caught with a knife being sent off to a boot camp where it's so miserable they will never want to return again. Or banning them from owning or having a phone for 6 months? Need to think outside of the box because the problem has been endemic for a long time now and different kids will respond in different ways to different types of influence and punishments.

@mourningireland4560 2 жыл бұрын

You're on the right track with a lot of that, but I think the key is the family life of these kids, or rather the lack of it. And also how widespread these problems are. Parents' behaviour from a young age drives these kids to that behaviour. Obviously not everyone, and I'm not absolving these guys of their crimes. They know what they're doing is wrong. But I think it's too late for a lot of them. Not all, of course, but for many it's too late from a disgracefully young age. That's why I honestly think the death penalty has a purpose here.

@alfredthegreat9543 2 жыл бұрын

@@mourningireland4560 I know it's popular to blame family life, single parents etc but it's more than that because millions of kids have grown up in "broken" homes etc over the years but haven't turned to knife crime have they? That's a Daily Mail narrative. Death penalty? No civilised society has the Death penalty- it doesn't work to reduce serious crime anyway, and is barbaric. Also, the justice system is made up of people and people make mistakes- its bad enough the number of judgements that are found to be wrong or unsafe years later- can you imagine if decades later it was discovered an innocent had been executed? Abhorrent. Leave the Death penalty where it is now- in barbaric, medieval societies, we are above that type of thing.

My 2 boys are living around this all day, the kids ain’t scared, they know they’ll get a short sentence, there’s no deterrent taking a life means nothing to them, they’ve both been caught now and I’d give em’ 50 years each, make an example, i guarantee if i doesn’t stop knife crime, it’ll send a strong message out there and even if it reduces stabbings by 50%, it’s a start !

If reiss is telling the truth, in answer to that question about why he didnt go the other way, is because some of us are either blessed by the Lord, had a good upbringing, and just happened to have our heads screwed on and know better, not saying we are all perfect, but theres other ways to go in life, why be like 9 boys/girls out of 10, honestly ppl need to get a life and even now some of us have turned 30, and ppls penny still hasnt dropped👀
