Yeah, I'm not gonna sing anything that I deem offensive or racist, but there are a lot of people out there who protest "this is bad or that is racist" but are quite happy to "Fu** the Albion" or call the referee a "wan***".

That is another really annoying chant that I wish would just die. Along with "You're fuc*ng shi*" on repeat. Really hate it. It's so dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_82 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 As soon as I heard it I started cringing, needs to stop now - Number 1 for the racial undertone and 2 because its just a shit rip off of another song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an easy response to make, but is it actually funny singing about black guys having big dicks? Where's the actual humour? What's the point? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2019 Konsa is another player I’m really excited by, he seems assured on the ball, good dribbling and passing skills and seems strong and fairly quick (although not mega fast from what I’ve seen). All round can’t wait for him to mature into a very good footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racism just isn't very interesting to white people. More often than not they find it irritating because they get accused of doing something wrong, which they only think of as fun and in any case, they did it without meaning to offend, so what's your problem?

Rob182 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Everyone knows that you can only make reference to the size of someone's penis if you have seen it yourself. So, I will be continuing to sing this song. Spoiler I've never even heard the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the Abraham chant last season, I don't think anyone is saying that people chanting this are being deliberately racist. Just that it's a chant that has clear racist undertones even if it's not intentional, and it's probably a good idea if we all move on and leave the chant behind. Being told to cheer up because you point this out isn't exactly the best solution. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_avfc Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 In my opinion the rest of the chant is stupid let alone the ending with the racial undertone. Why would we randomly sing about one of our players drinking vodka and jager? There's not even any reason for any of this chant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's just stupid, as if Ezri Konsa is getting hammered on vodka and jager. Football is a family sport and VP is generally well behaved family day out. Away days in Leipzig I appreciate are not family affairs, I hope it's a case of what goes on tour stays on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way the chant would even work is if it was common knowledge that he loved to party aka McCormack AND if it was common knowledge he had a massive dick aka if he'd gone full Ashley Young. Without those 2 factors the whole thing just doesn't make sense. Someone referenced the Terry song above but it's not the same really, it's pretty common knowledge that Terry screwed around with a teammates Mrs (was he also married at the time as well?) and the chant is poking fun at that common knowledge. The Konsa one seems to be based on absolutely nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alreadyexists Posted August 5, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) It’s not about being “PC” either, I always hate that phrase as that’s too easy to dismiss things and is used as a byword for people being over sensitive. I think fundamentally it’s about being nice to people and thinking ‘perhaps saying things about people that reinforce stereotypes isn’t a nice thing to do’. I’m a white male in my 30s though... I’ve had an amazingly privileged life by comparison to many, I doubt I will ever fully understand exactly how it feels to be marginalised.
