| There are some good clean ones, to be fair they are usually the better ones.
I like the new one for you guys after the DW fiasco
"You do as your told"
"You do as your told"
"You're Wigan rugby, You do as your told"

Seeing as we fought and won our right to play at the DW, then that makes as much sense as 'your mums your dad, your dads your mum' song. Keep trying though

Yeah, that kind of backfired on him a bit, didn't it.

No problem with that. I was sat next to the Saints fans and actually enjoyed the banter more than the game.
You don't need to use bad language to have banter.
As a sport we cannot afford to alienate fans. I stopped taking my kids to watch Everton due to the bad language.

| Quote: moving on... "What i am trying to get at is effing and blinding in conversation around old people, young children or women isn't a good thing and i consciously try to refrain from it. however the occasional song at a game is just a bit of banter at the end of the day. Thats why rugby fans can drink in the pub and have a laugh and a joke with each other. If the banter and the atmosphere goes what to we have? A posh playing field with 26 blokes chasing an inflated egg.'"
You can still have banter without swearing. Your assertion that swearing is necessary to have atmosphere is wide of the mark.

Clearly that's not what I'm saying, but well done for having a go.

| The whole idea of finding words offensive is a bit of a mystery to me. Words are nothing but an arrangement of letters. If someone finds a word offensive then I'd think them a bit daft. The context can be offensive, but a word in itself? If someone says "what the f*** are you doing?" to someone it has the exact same meaning as "what on earth are you doing?" so why would someone be annoyed at the former and not the latter?
Besides, people choose what they find offensive. If someone is offended by swearing then they've decided to be and it's their own choice. The simple solution is just stop being offended by it. You're perfectly capable of doing so.
I can understand parents not wanting their kids to be around swearing and not wanting to start swearing because it's perceived as something bad and they might think it reflects badly on their kids or themselves.
Still, I can't help but think that if everyone just decided that words on their own aren't offensive and only the context could be offensive then things would be a lot simpler.
