FA investigates alleged homophobic chanting aimed at Frank Lampard

Call me an idiot however much you want if you think that’s the way you communicate with people.

The chant isn’t disparaging about gay people btw, it’s against gay prostitutes the exact way women/hetero prostitutes are disparaged all the time. I don’t condone it but that’s the nature of the pay for sex industry. Sex workers should be the ones kicking off here, both gay and straight.

Edit: also I can see the difference between the use of “yid” and “rent boy” in their respective chants. One is sung by the “home” crowd, one is sung against the home crowd so of course there’s a difference. My point is there’s clearly language that is used that at its core is a homophobic/anti Semitic term but they’re obviously not been used in a homophobic / anti Semitic way because language is a very weird thing and it can evolve like that.
