Professional footballer declares that he is gay

Re: Professional footballer declares that he is gay

Another reason for a gay footballer not to come out, anything they say about abuse will be met with “stop being so sensitive” from the banter brigade.

Let’s be honest if you still can’t see why I’d rather wear a turban than a rose isn’t a good song to sing maybe the whole topic is a bit above you.

because you can't win your argument with logic you resort to ad hominem. We got there in the end.

and I never said it was a good song, or a bad song. my comment was that its not racist per se, the aim is to wind up the opposition.

He's shot himself in the foot

It's clearly a racist chant, in my opinion

He could easily put his hands up

But it is racist, I don’t even understand how it’s an argument.

Yep because he first thought people were saying it’s racist because of the English part :hehe:

And then didn’t understand where it was saying England was bad.

And the whole thread is him trying to dig himself out of that first hole.

It’s been explained in detail at least 10 times in this thread. I can’t believe it even needs to be explained.

Re: Professional footballer declares that he is gay

why is this young hindu getting upset about a song about turbans?

Either you are being a arse or you need educating

People with heritage from the Asian sub continent .......Indian people of Hindu, Sikh origin , Pakistani people of Muslim origin , Bangladeshis , Sri Lankan.....have always been lumped together as bloody Paksis ! .....it doesn't matter that they have different religions or customs or their grandfather's came from places thousands of miles apart........they are pakcis....they all look the same .....and the idiots who sing these songs are so ignorant they use a turban , worn by only a small minority of Asian people in this country to abuse them

It's like the idiot saying he's going down the P shop , almost all P shops in the UK are owned by Indian people , its lazy racism

Re: Professional footballer declares that he is gay

Absolutely mad but someone has even written an academic paper on whether it is racist :hehe:

Spoiler alert it is, have a read of that if you really cannot grasp why it’s racist.

He's saying it's not racist

It's been explained to him it is

He's an intelligent bloke

He just has to say I can see that , thanks lads but he's not prepared to do it

The conclusion I make is either He's racist and trying to defend the song or he's not racist but no able to admit he's wrong

I hope its the latter
