Romelu Lukaku chant racist apparently due to stereotypical views. Nowhere in the song is his 'size' linked to his skin colour (or have I only seen 'official' lyrics). Waiting for someone to pipe up about hair colour related songs next

Must admit, when I heard that song on Youtube the other day I did think it was perhaps a little close to the bone!
Unless there is some sort of rumor going around Manchester as to the size of his tool (?), then I can only assume that they are making that assumption as he is a big black bloke.... And that is a tad racist!

Maybe it's just that he is a big bloke ?

Same way Chelsea were quick to denounce the song about Morata disliking Jews, you can't sing anything with a racial/ethnicity nod in it. That's the way it is, no matter what these "Brits Abroad" types will have you believe.

The way I see things, is that I am actualy too old for all this PC nonsense to affect me. You cannot teach an old dog new tricks, so my defense is that I am the way I am, because that's the way I grew up.

Is it because they say he is from Belgium ?

Surely the ones thinking this is racist are being racist ? No part of the song mentions colour of skin but the protesters are linking it. So, no man of any other colour has a large tool ?

Why have you put "ladies" in inverted commas, but not "gentleman"? If he's made a comment that has offended someone, it sounds like he's not been very gentlemanly.

every time in the past I have written what I think it has been removed DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING?! Sounds like you're slowly realising that your views are outdated, and stuff that was ok in the seventies has no place in modern football!

We play in a 1920's stadium with 1920's supporters.....

Maybe it's just that he is a big bloke ? Why didn't they sing it about Zlatan then? Come on now, I am sure you are not this daft? It is clearly because he is a big black bloke.. Now, if that stereotype is racist or offensive is another matter I guess? This reminds me of the scene on the office where David Brent tells a joke about a 'black mans cock' and gets a right rollocking over it from his superiors.... Very funny scene! But the point is, the subject matter was basically the same and even 15 years ago it was deemed as a racist thing to say.

If David Brent tells a joke about a WHITE mans Co@k, is that still not racist ?
