In the grand scheme of things I think there are far worse chants heard at football grounds all around the country. I was at Norwich and didn't join in the chant as we weren't playing chelsea. I'd sooner shout it at chelsea fans rather than the players. Yes some might find it inappropriate and now there's a big fuss over it we'll probably have to stop. That's another chant that helps create an atmosphere lost!
TBH saying there are far worse things, is not a good justification.
OK I murdered my neighbour, but hey - Hitler did worse
No need to be sorry, he was a twat
Pretty pathetic analogy. We are talking about football chants here.
Nah, offensive chants are part of the game.
So how far do you go banning chants?
There's always someone who can take offence to something.
Do we ban Poor Scouser Tommy because it contains the verse from the "sash" and could be seen as loyalist?
No it's not. Fans sing offensive songs in order to wind the opposition fans up. It gets a laugh from those singing it and a response from the opposition.
I stand corrected. Now you've explained it to me, I understand now that it's clearly very intelligent.
We don't go to football to be intelligent.
If you want to be intelligent go to the theatre or ballet
Football fans are a creative bunch. I'm sure they can come up with some equally compelling chants which don't use homophobic language.
Chelsea Dickheads?
Chelsea Fuckwits?
Chelsea Bellends?
There's no shortage of options.
What's homophobic about what We chant now?
'Rent boy' is a colloquialism for a male prostitute. It is commonly used as a derogatory term to insult gay men. Hence, it's homophobic.
In the case of the 'Chelsea rent boy' chant, the implication is that Chelsea players/fans are male prostitutes, and that this demeans them.
Sorry, I thought all of this was crushingly obvious, but clearly not.
Only if you think prostitutes are inherently less dignified or worthy.
Is that what you think of prostitutes Del ?
From my limited knowledge most gay men are not rent boys. Maybe if you think that way it's you who is homophobic.
Its aimed at Chelsea fans because rent boys, would goto London to make a living and many would end up in Chelsea because the clients were richer. It is not a slur against gays.
But are most rent boys... gay?
Don't know. What about boys who go with older women?
You’ve gotta do what you gotta do to make a living. It doesn’t mean you have to enjoy it.
Are you actually this stupid, or are you just pretending for the sake of trolling?
The term is an established homophobic pejorative. Its implication is very obvious from the way it's been used for the last forty years. You can't remove language from its historical context.

Less worthy than?
That's up to you. Would you introduce your new girlfriend to your parents if she was on the game? Hi mum, hi dad. This is Jane, otherwise known as vixen when she's working.
Or would your prefer Jane to have a normal job?
Oh I didn't think Momo's comments were that bad. Motherfucker & Bugger are pretty mild abuse nowadays.
I think they are upset because they aren't paid enough .. not that they aren't rent boys. Or maybe I've been misled. Hmm
