“I’ve half a mind to join the BNP – apparently that’s all I need.”
So said the graffiti I saw on a Hammersmith wall a couple of years
ago, sharing a sentiment I share albeit with reservations that they
overestimate the mental capacity required!
So when I hear that some morons have been singing racist chants in
the name of Chelsea FC on a train back from Norwich I scratch my head and
wonder.
Our club captain John Terry is due in court next month charged
with racism. He denies the charge and vehemently protests that he is not a
racist. Do the morons think they are somehow doing JT a favour?
Lots of our players are black, both the club and the fans have
moved on a long way since the days when Paul Canoville was disgracefully abused
by his own supporters on his debut*. Do the morons really think they are
supporting the players of such a multi-racial club in their actions?
One of my best mates has a black wife. Both of them are Chelsea supporters
but only he goes to games. She went twice but was put off by idiots making
racist comments. Do the morons behind these chants thing this helps the club
develop?
I just don’t get it. If you are really so racist that you have to
sing about it on a train, why the fuck do you support Chelsea in the first
place? That’s the same Chelsea who are
proudly a multi-cultural team from the planet’s most cosmopolitan city.
And if any of these morons are of the Hitler worship variety,
perhaps they could take note that these days we are owned by a Russian
Billionaire, the Russians being among the many peoples Hitler referred to as ‘untermensch’.
I’ll leave you to figure out the translation (if you need it) and the
contradiction in a Nazi supporting a team owned by such a man.
I just don’t get it. Half a mind? The graffiti flattered you.
Do us all a favour, fuck off and support another team. Or better
still, go and play on a busy road.
KTBFFH
*If you haven’t already read it, I can thoroughly recommend Paul
Canoville’s biography ‘Black and Blue’ which gives a startling insight into the
hurt and damage caused by these racist morons.
