Why is Rio bonfire song racist?

Manure fans sing it about dippers the while time

 

It isn't and they should build a bonfire and fry the camel lipped **** alive on it because he is a ****! Pure & simple

 

Agree. He is an arrogant so and so, who treats England like ****e like all United players

 

The daily Rio thread. Bitter much?

Why the **** were England fans singing about Anton Ferdinand? I wonder which club those morons support. I've always found it distasteful to dislike someone for being provocatively black. Society has moved on.

 

oh do **** off you odious little ****.

 

Not my personal opinion but one could argue that bringing his brother into it makes it related to the whole Terry/Ferdinand issue and therefore has racist undertones.

 

Why were England fans singing about Anton Ferdinand? Has he ever played for the England first team?

 

I literally could not give a ****. the latter part of your comment was ridiculous and actually slightly offensive to myself.

rio's a ****, anton's a ****. always have been. nothing to do with their skin color.

 

But explain to me why those fans were singing offensive songs about Anton Ferdinand instead of, for example, Ryan Shawcross.

And why is Anton Ferdinand a **** in your opinion? What have you got against him?

 

again, I literally could not give a ****.

don't get me wrong, he's not as big a **** as his brother but because of the way he is, he's a wannabe rudeboy scally. I just think he's a **** and is definitely not somebody I would befriend. Not that it matters, but he has been involved in a couple of off field incidents too.

he's a **** in the same way I think craig bellamy or gareth bale are.

 

Seems bizarre that England fans would choose to sing about him. Surely you agree?

 

Yep, however I still fail to see how the perpetrators were being racist. Also strangely enough that wasn't the problem I had with your original post.

 

Why do the perpetrators dislike Anton Ferdinand so much if it's nothing to do with a racially influenced incident? Why pick him out of all the players who haven't played for England?

 

Rio and Anton, both from the very shallow end of the gene pool.

 

I dislike him, nothing to do with his race though. He's rio's brother, that is why they didn't say shawcross btw. I'd say its fairly obvious it was Chelsea fans however it doesn't mean it was racially motivated. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?

 

Fair enough but why? I get why you dislike Rio (West Ham, Leeds, successful businessman) but why do you have such a problem with Anton?

 

I understand perfectly. Your prejudice is irrational and objectionable.

 

actually no that's not why. you're either on the wind up or an extremely naive little ****er.

 

Your moral compass is skewed.

 

He was picked on because he is rio's brother not because he was black. Do you not remember the school playground.

England fans would have sung about rio and another black player if they were being intentionally racist
