Not saying it's right but Brighton fans have chants aimed at them every week and nothing is said or done. Now two women have complained about a few chants and it's in the press. It may have all been light hearted for all we know. It's a football match and banter occurs, people get called fat bastard or ginger bastard etc all the time.
My brother is gay, he is also ginger haired.
To my knowledge he has been badly beaten up because of one of those things three times.
I can bet you anything you like that the perpetrators weren't calling him a ginger bastard when kicking him.
