I remember a ridiculously overblown documentary presented by the tragic Justin Fashanu’s niece a few years ago exploring homophobia in football. One manifestation of this prejudice that she was keen to highlight and condemn was away fans at Brighton singing “does your boyfriend know you’re here” and “we can see you holding hands”.

Not offensive to anybody sensible regardless of their sexuality I would imagine but I wouldn’t risk singing that at a match these days - some busy little woke snowflake would have given your seat details to the Offended Hotline before you got home.

The narrative given about Justin Fashanu committing suicide due to homophobia in football & they never mention his impending trial in the US for sexual assault & fears of an unfair trial in Maryland.

It gives fire to the argument that the ordinary fan or footballer is a knuckle dragging homophobe as opposed to media witch hunts & the US criminal justice.

It'll all be jazz hands and only songs passed by the club that don't even scratch offending anyone at all.

Yes it’s a male prostitute.

How far does this go, shall we ban people singing “where were you when you were shit” because it discriminates on age?

Our society has become pathetic with people being offending about stuff.

whether any Chelsea fans were, or should have been, offended, is not the point. The point is the rags were using a term that relates to sexuality as a slur. It is the intent to give offence, and the reason for it, that is objectionable.

still, if the hill you want to die on is defending rags singing homophobic songs, fill your boots.

He's not saying that though. You are just thinking that.
What he's asking is where do you draw the line regarding what you can sing and what you can't sing nowadays and who makes that decision for you? Discuss:
