Quote: Superted "Have to agree with leedsnsouths on this one. Supporting a sports team generally involves a lot of passion and emotion. Fans have always and will always sing songs and use exaggerated language that include emotive (hate, scum etc), strong and offensive words. I'm pretty sure nobody actually wants to get a gun and shoot anybody, it's just a song - it's all part of the theatre/pantomime.
Those that take such offense or who publicly criticise people for using this type of language at a sports event are either ultra snowflakes or more likely on a crusade to try and prove that they're somehow more intelligent/a better person than those involved. Either way, it's pretty pathetic.'"
A spur of the moment outburst is slightly different to organised chanting, would you not agree.
Its not about Snowflakery, its about setting an example to younger generations of fans. Are you happy that kids (under 12's) are exposed to this type of environment, with out challenge, to accept it as the norm?
