Chelsea Fans Justify Racist Song About Vieira
Henry
By Boris Mellor
December 14 2004
One or two are proud of the song, and another feels that Vieira would probably find it funny. Anyone who objects is PC and are probably called Nigel or Tarquin. There is obviously still a lot of work to be done.
At least two Chelsea fans have written on the Arsenal Times website that they admit singing the Vieira racist song and are prepared to justify their actions. One claims that they have sang it for two seasons. The first message represents Arsenal Times and the following are from correspondents claiming to be Chelsea fans.

Finally after two days since the racism storm broke, funnily enough on Arsenal Times (perhaps the Arsenal Times author leaked it to the media) the media have got their hands on the story.
Hardly offensive was it. Ok not nice, but hardly going to send millions of Senegalise running to complain of Racial Discrmination. I bet Vieira even had a chuckle about it, if he heard it of course.
Racism is NOT welcome at any sporting ground, let alone football, and after reading the Currant reporter's episode at Millwall today from last Saturday's game v Brighton, this episode is nothing.

how can chelsea be racist when they have blck players in there team?are thye really going to sing racist songs when there own players will hear it,i think all this racist pc****has gone too far,its a case of the oldschool football supporter-gallows humour against the new breed of pseudo intellectual idiots who arent suited to what goes on at a football match,i think if thety had there way thered rid the terraces of all the rifraf and settle down with tarquin and nigel in peace,thats never going to happen im afraid.ps im an arsenal fan have been since early 80's,seen don howes mid 80's side when we were crap,iloved them days when the REAL arsenal fans turned up would most of them be going now if we were ever that bad????i think not ....

WE've never sung about being a cannibal to a white player, and yep if I was TOTALLY daft I would walk into South Chicago and start calling black guys Niggah because I assumed it would be ok since they say it themselves. Doh!!
Just so you are sure Padre, the chant is not in doubt. we have been singing it at Paddy for at least two seasons to my knowledge.
Also for the record with regard to white players, they of course are part of the socio economic majority that are considered to well off to actually have anything racist effect them sufficiently to be called racism. Instead we go for the jugular and start on their physical attributes or the marital status of their mothers, the wherabouts of their girlfriends last night pfr spit vile words in their direction because its incredibly therapeutic to do so.
Any more questions about this great game of ours and its anarchic and extremely healthy irreverence for political correctness?
