It’s a problem for me.
Not the singing part, because I’m in the FF where singing is not allowed

But the acceptance that Hun is on the ‘banned list’ just because the Huns say it should be. That smacks of appeasement. And the last time we appeased the Huns, just look what happened. No I don’t mean letting Katie sign for them – I mean the Second World War.

Huns are Huns. I know quite a few of them, and it’s only recently (last 12 months or so) that they have started the “Yes it IS an offensive term” stuff.
Are we allowed to call Dundee United “Arabs” still? Or is that going to be seen as a racist or bigoted term too?
I’m not sure about your comment in bold – are you suggesting that there is some legitimacy to the Huns claim that there is some sort of religious baggage to the term? I honestly didn’t know that if that is the case.

No - I'm not suggesting that they are in any way right that the term hun (if the Scottish football sense, as opposed to the NI sense) is offensive, but it was inevitable that the huns were going to claim that it is.
