Is Daniel Levy offended
The thing being the N-word is perfectly acceptable to use when it is used within the black community to describe one another. So why is it not acceptable for a group of people that have been vindicated with the term Yid or Nancy-boy to use the term about themselves? It stinks of posh lawyer not liking common footballers so isolating them.It is the logical progression though and a sign of modern British intolerance. The current thinking is that the term can be offensive, ergo it IS offensive. Same applies to sheepshaggers (think of the the Bellamy incident) and will apply to nancy boys. I think most of us on here (although there are probably exceptions) accept that human relationships are nuanced, complicated and many-faceted and that you simply cannot apply such clumsy, binary, yes/no logic to absolutely every sphere of human interaction. Sadly though the Great and the Good don't think like that, any any attempt to justify a more open approach is met with hysterical counter-claims such as "So I suppose you think the n-word is 'just banter' do you?"
Frankly Lord B that excuse for using Nancy Boys "wouldn't fool a six year old" (To quote the lawyer in question). The club must stop it now. I'll give them two weeks before I raise a complaint. (Again to quote the lawyer in question)."One-nil to the nancyboys!" is only ever chanted as a response to genuinely homophobic chants from opposition supporters. It's an assertion by right thinking Albion supporters of our opposition to homophobia. Homophobic Albion supporters (and there are some) don't join in. In fact, some of them come on NSC and complain that they are embarrassed by the chant.
They're already on the case. Gus is sending the team into matches with instructions never to get into a potentially risky one-nil situation until most supporters have left the ground.Frankly Lord B that excuse for using Nancy Boys "wouldn't fool a six year old" (To quote the lawyer in question).

This country is far too PC and is in danger of alienating a lot of reasonable thinking people. It is all going too far. Over egging the pudding on this one. It is a very sad day when you feel like somebody can acuse anyone else of being racist when they use the term "coloured" etc. A total farce.
