It's very unfortunate but reality is that English football has a large following of thick, uneducated people who get self and short term satisfaction by insulting others. They feel threatened (but of cousre will never admit that) by people who are different to themselves. Travel and a variety of life experience changes these attitudes but the bulk of these people have little of either, no matter what they claim. They think that because they have jobs that pay well, they are educated and that's where the problem lies - money is everything in British culture, it even means people believe the more they have the more they are educated, when in fact the opposite is true.

You have a very large chip on your shoulder.

I believe that you get 'short term satisfaction' by insulting British people and Britain on these boards.

Oh f*** me here we go ....now we have the rainbow benders telling us we can't call the weed benders cos it offensive FFS all you poofters go and watch f***ing netball or go play with your f***ing dolls because we here at CPFC have been calling the weed benders since Adam was a boy and Ifor one ain't going to change because your f***ing offender so harden up princess or f*** right off

This statement is agenda-driven, aggressive, threatening and bullying activist PC propaganda BS and I for one will not bow to it. Fans say all sorts of sh1t about all sorts of diverse groups but at heart they are generally accepting and non-phobic about anyone, and you can shove your demands for conformity to your 'correct' language right up your ARSE.

Although I could never hope to be as eloquent as you Flynny I do agree with your sentiments.
Being gay is just your sexual orientation. In the past if you were gay you had it tough - could go to prison etc. but nowadays no one really gives a flying f***.

Look at Part Time James - massive Tranny lover. If he went to a match and the songs were all about Shemales is he going to be offended? No. He'll just book a Ladyboy massage and get on with it.

Southampton Eagle - massive Ginger. If he goes to a game and thecrowd take the piss out of a ginger player is he going to be offended? No. He'll just claim he's Strawberry blonde and get on with it.

Saxon Eagle - chubby accountant. If he goes to a match and the crowd call a topless Newcastle fan a 'Fat b******' is he going to be offended? No. He'll just eat another Mars Bar and get on with it.

Superfly - former Jesus lookalike. If he goes to a match and the crowd blaspheme is he going to be offended? No. He'll just say 5 Hail Marys and get on with it.

Racist chanting is and always was awful. Singing a few songs about where someone wants to stick their willy isn't even worth worrying about.

Look at Cucking - massive Bisexual Bender. If he goes to a match and they sing songs about bisexuals does he get offended? No. He just buys another tub of Boy Butter and gets DanH round for the evening.

It is possible to go through life and not get your knickers in a twist about things. Some people do seem to be on a crusade to find things offensive.
