I'm not bothered, I just don't really see the need for them to be singled out. I think football is quite reflective of society in general - years ago it was deemed ok to take the piss and be openly hostile to blacks, gays, women etc. But thankfully we've moved on from that stuff (in the main).
As for my house, point taken. However in my defence, my missus is the one who insists on buying all the tat like cushions, throws etc. - if it was up to me I'd just have a chair, telly, bed and fridge.
