Where do we stand on people cracking the odd racist joke at work, but their best pals are black? Racists, or just pandering to idiots?

George Saint Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Seems a bit of a storm in a teacup to me. Are people really that offended by it? Everyone knows that some Rangers fans sing nasty songs about the Pope, just as some Celtic fans sing pro-IRA songs. I imagine that this event was always likely to attract and be aimed at football fans, and most likely Rangers fans, given Gazza played for them. Does any Rangers fan bash ever pass by without someone adding a few nasty words to one song or another? I doubt it. I doubt that Gazza could care less about the Pope either way, but such is the nature of these things, it's easy to get swept along with the occasion. Willy Thorne was next to him and laughing and smiling during the song - are people also now going to paint him as a bigot because he didn't storm off in protest? I would have thought people here, being football fans, wouldn't be so sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't though. If that's all it takes to make Willie Thorne a cunt, you've set the bar incredibly low. Presumably if Rangers or Celtic fans sing anything bad in the stadium, anyone who doesn't immediately leave in protest, is also a cunt, yes? Same goes for in the pub or anywhere else. For the record, I don't find it amusing. I just think when it's a private event aimed at fans of Rangers, and you get something like that happen, I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist about it. I think there are much worse songs sung by football fans, and sung in much more inappropriate places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
