One of my best friends is a Jewish Brighton fan. He finds it utterly offensive and hears it all the time outside pubs. He shouldn't have to put up with that.
But inside the stadium is a different story, in my opinion.
Ledley King? He already starred in Baddiels video.
That's exactly his argument. He also wonders whether it would be acceptable for Bradford fans to call themselves P*ki Army. Doesn't sound too clever, does it?Bloody hell, he's gotta put up with all the homophobic nonsense that away fans unleash at Brighton fans!
I guess the true indication of whether the 'reclaim the word' theory holds true would be if Brighton fans started calling themselves 'Gay' simply 'cos fans of other clubs have hurled abuse at them...
Though frankly, why should they? Most of their fan base is probably straight, so to start calling THEMSELVES gay would be ridiculou..... Hang on a second..... kinda interesting comparison we've got ourselves here...
I may have just talked myself out of my original point!
Ledders is on Talkshite tomorrow morning
Wonder if he mentions Terry in his book........
if spurs was renowned for its Asian fanbase and opposing supporters called us a bunch of p*kis then if it seemed like the right thing to do, I probably would call myself one. that's what it's all about standing together to take the offensive chant and throw it back at them. show them it means nothing.That's exactly his argument. He also wonders whether it would be acceptable for Bradford fans to call themselves P*ki Army. Doesn't sound too clever, does it?
only speaking for me, but if someone calls me gay (I'm not), my usual response is to steal a line from highlander (ask if they are they cruising for a piece of ass), or say "yes , what of it", or words to that effect.Bloody hell, he's gotta put up with all the homophobic nonsense that away fans unleash at Brighton fans!

didnt he say in court over his racism charge that he had only been sent off for tackles?When he got sent off against us in 2006 him and Ledley had a wrestle in the net just prior to that and he alledgedly said something along the lines of "you lippy black monkey"
