Heysel Slur On Chelsea Website: Petty Football Rivalry Is a Joke

We all love a bit of football banter, a light hearted joke at the expense of the opposition. The pantomime routine that exists around football grounds can be highly entertaining. But there is a line that should never be crossed in the name of supporting your football team.

However, we all know that pretty much every club will have it's minority of fans who will cross that line, and cross it with enjoyment.

Immature songs chanting accusations of pedophilia, racist taunts and threats aimed at rival or ex-players, and I think probably the worst of the worst are the songs about dead football players, dead supporters and dead children.

There is something seriously wrong with a person who makes fun of dead children.

The type of person that is beyond help, and any reasonable argument against their actions will just be ignored for the sake of their own warped sense of humor or motive.

The type of person who's opinion will influence other supporters who themselves will not bother to research something before taking that opinion on as their own. I used to do it myself, listen to people talk about something and just believe it was the truth. Now I like to look in to something as much as possible before I try to form my opinion.

But there will always be people who just listen to sound bites, headlines, and lies that fit in with their own beliefs. It's unavoidable. No football club is exempt from that minority who spoil things for the rest of the group.

What annoys me is factless unresearched slander, and the generalization that is tied to an entire group of people. A few supporters do something wrong, then everyone gets tarred with the same brush.

Apparently all Liverpool supporters are murderers because of the actions of a very small minority.

A massive over generalization, but also a false one, but that wont stop people pushing the idea and using it for enjoyment when mocking people.

Whilst some people and their mentalities are beyond help, the rest of the easily led should think long and hard about their actions and do a little research in to their opinions before standing up and telling the world about them.
