How could this be considered insulting by those who made the banner unless it is their belief that there is something wrong with a male sucking a cock, a homosexual sex act?

Exactly

For mine it wouldn't make a difference if it was a woman's face. It was a lewd banner and went below the level of decency expected at matches.

Unless you want to pretend that the banner was supposed to be celebrating Arnie, it's clear-cut homophobia.

Typical of the Wanderers, really.

Not bad, could've been better.  6/10.






By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Ever heard of something called homophobia? 

Doesnt surprise me though. First your club supports racists like Santalab now its a beacon of homophobia.

The only reason they put it up is because they intended for it to be an insult. By showing their rival doing it, they made it clear they think there is definitely something wrong with a male sucking cock, otherwise it would have been about Poppa.

We have plenty of cock suckers in the RBB. It's like saying there are no gays in Iran.

Exactly. To the RBB being gay is a bad thing. I feel sorry for gay Wanderers fans who must cringe at the sight of this juvenile rubbish.

Not only was it homophobic, it was also unoriginal and uninspiring.

It makes it obscene, that is all that should matter. There are somethings that no matter the category are deemed inappropriate, this is one and the idiots involved in the RBB would have known.

Of course its homophobic and the brain dead fuckwits in the RBB did it for that reason. It's also not the first time they've done it. Wasn't there a smurf cartoon or some shit? 

I'm all for bantz but sexuality along with race is out of bounds. 

Trust the primitive arsehats in the RBB to go there.

i actually agree with you i just have an issue with it being called homophobic when if the coach of sydney fc happened to be female it would be sexist

Can't see how it's homophobic. Lewd yes. A cock sucker is a cock sucker, has nothing to do with being male or female. It so happens that graham Arnold is a man, if it was Gracie Arnold then it would have been a woman. People need to get off their PC high horses about this one. You're delusional if you think that it is about a man sucking another mans dick. Maybe the dick in the tifo belonged to a transgender person, it wasn't stipulated. Maybe it was a life like strap on. Are we living in some kind of nanny state or what. It was a bit of fun.

What difference does it make if it's homophobic or sexist? 

Still proves that most of the RBB are stuck in 1953.

I didn't say it was a bad thing. Why is fucking a mother seen as a bad thing when people insult people by calling them motherfucker. They aren't, they are just generic based insults, tied back to a past that we don't experience anymore. It would be unnecessarily PC to jump on a band wagon about this.

It is a generic insult.  To try and tie this up with other issues in society is ridiculous.  It is the same as calling someone a gay c*nt.  It is nothing more than a generic insult these days.  Punish them for being lewd, homophobia is taking the fucking piss.

i pretty much agree with this, the only issue i have is with children seeing it but its not like the first time its been done at football wont be the last either, its a weird one for me because i am very anti PC but if i had children i really wouldnt want to explain that tifo to them

But in that example you're still using the term "gay" as a slur.
