For the record I can't stand a lot of Hull FC and Liverpool fans and give them stick. I wouldn't expect them to go cry-@rseing over it because their 'preference' is Hull FC and Liverpool FC.
I'd rather be on the receiving end of a verbal attack than a physical one.
Is that what you would call racist or homophobic language? Their is a huge difference from calling a bloke a bell or wan*er and calling an Indian a jingly or a gay person a queer.
Being discriminated against for you're religion, ethnicity or sexuality can cause people to commit suicide or self harm like a lot do.
The fact that this isn't apparent to a select few is worrying.
But most people on here will be what society declares as normal,
White straight and christian practicing or not so the typical insults would not effect them but if somebody called you a poofter in an aggressive manner and you are gay it would upset you.
