To clarify the homophobia was never a collective chant, but got yelled out plenty of times. Also "tits out for the boys" chanted together by 30+ dudes directly at one young woman multiple times. If finding that disgusting is elitist bullshit then sign me up for chairman of the elitist bullshit club.

"Fuck you Adelaide" is pointlessly negative and antagonistic, and heaps of surrounding kids were joining in cos swearing is cool. 
The Fever and attending Phoenix games has an awesome reputation for an electric atmosphere and super positive vibes. It's early enough to hold on to that, why let it go! It's a pretty unique thing, I reckon. It's not like it is overseas and that's just great.


Any moron can say that - it takes no creativity and no imagination.  This is the main reason one should not say that in front of 8 year olds sitting in the row next to you. It would make them think that is all the brains one needs to be a YF member.

 

Wasn't YF 'members' who were shouting it though? Unless I'm mistaken? Point taken though.

Yeah, it's not the most intelligent chant in the world, I agree. The bottom line is that there will be "foul" language at football matches so anybody who takes an 8 year old to a game should be aware of that but there's a huge difference between the odd F bomb being bandied around in the heat of the moment and having it chanted by a large group for any length of time just for the hell of it.

I also think that a large number of football chants are negative and anatagonistic, that's not gonna change, but as MFC said, there's no creativity or imagination in there. Or humour.
