I was at the game yesterday in the top of the cobbold and i witnessed something that i think shocked me more than anything ive seen from the fans around me in almost 50years of watching football!.. on the back row, the row behind me , infact standing right behind me was a kid id say about 11 years old and the language coming from the kids mouth was absolutely shocking..not just the F word, there was the C word, w@#n*#r, a youre sha@&ing your sister chant...every possible word you could think of and not just once or twice it was non stop the whole match. I was thinking to myself in the first half how can the parent allow that. At half time i turned around to look at them and i was so shocked to see that the kid was a girl!.. id seriously through that first half thought it was a boy, not that that wouldve made it right. How could a parent allow that?. The girl was with her dad and he joined in the chants with her occasionally!. Sitting next to me was a man with his son, who was asimilar age to this girl and i just felt sorry for them having to listen to that. I know you get bad language at football, its always been the case and always will be but hearing the worst of the worst comung from an 11 year old girl with her dad did actually shock me! |  | | |  |

You are right to be shocked but I’m not surprised.
Children have so many bad influences nowadays - bad parents, computer games, music artists, films etc which normalises such language.
I have next door neighbours that have young kids and the language that comes out of the mouth of both parents is appalling so I suspect the kids will ‘learn’ this and think it’s ok to say these words in public like at football matches.
Sadly standards are slipping amongst our young people. |
Lets not make out this is a new thing. That's just not true. | |

Not condoning it but some parents let their kids swear at football but not anywhere else. Just before we get too judgemental.
Personally I wouldn't if I had kids, at least to that extent but kids are going to hear plenty of swearing if they go to football. |
What!! A young child coming out with those words!
Is utterly appalling. If that's judgmental that's very sad |  | | |

Maybe not but it's got a lot worse
My kids are in their 20s now and don't recall them or their mates using such language when borderline primary school age
Sh1t parenting basically | | | |

I see no issue. It’s football.
If it was in the street, then fair enough. But the football is a place to let off steam |  |

rommers i have to disagree with you here mate.
"football" just isnt a valid excuse for this sort of language. and theres a world of difference between "letting off steam" and the behaviour the OP describes. | |

Genuinely no idea what s*****c is?
Language evolves. Nothing "woke" about it. Some things that were ok to say decades ok aren't anymore. It's really not a culture war thing, it's just not being a bit of a d*ck |
Imagine pining for the days you can call someone a sp***ic |  |

If and when you’re a parent, you’re going to want to draw your own lines and boundaries on stuff.
Are you going to be OK with another parent saying “I see no issue. It’s <insert any situation>” ?
What’s good for you, isn’t good for everyone. Some of this is just about being socially aware and considerate to others. |  |

Christ! Is that what they meant??
Absolutely shocked that someone thinks that is in any way acceptable, let alone preferable to swearing.
Haven't heard that used as a form of abuse since the 90s. I don't think it not being used anymore has anything to do with "woke culture" |  | | |

The English language has hundreds of words that are Slang, Funny and Sarcastic that are not used today because of Wokism. It is easier to follow the rules of Political Correctness. Instead of calling the player in yellow a right s*****c. They use the c word. On route to the station yesterday I was amazed how verbally controlled both sets of supporters were . Probably because the police would arrest someone for speaking their mind. As in the case of the recent free speech victims. Football supporters can be funny. |
Utter bobbins!
That's woke for something that you have just made up to fit a narrative that you have been fed through an ever increasing exposure to total guff! |  |

I mean judging the parent based on behaviour at football. If she's allowed to go around in everyday life like that then sure but we don't know that do we? | |

Hold up. I said I see no issue. That’s just my opinion.
Nowhere have I said the OP hasn’t got a right to moan. Same as the other parent could’ve had a moan at the dad for letting his daughter get away with that.
I just personally haven’t got a problem with it.
As is my right to an opinion. But thanks anyway for making it my parenting ability for my hypothetical child. Well done | |

the poster is merely indicating how wokeism might have altered people's use of rude nouns. He is not advocating that past-useage of the sp.....c word is a good thing. | | | |

And I am not questioning your right to have an opinion.
I just gave a hypothetical scenario because you posted what you did, despite there being a bunch of comments before yours that highlighted why the situation was not acceptable. Thought it might help you see the other side of the issue but I can see your holding on to your opinion.
No offence was intended. | |

I’m not convinced of that, considering his overall attitude to “Wokism”, including this -
“The English language has hundreds of words that are Slang, Funny and Sarcastic that are not used today because of Wokism.” | |

wokeism is a lot broader than just "slang, funny and sarcastic". The poster and you should know that. It is also a term that is not even 21st century. It goes back way further than that. | | | |

the point was he was not advocating the useage. Clumsy rather than idiotic. | | | |

I’d rather he returned to the thread to explain for himself than you interpret for him tbh. | |

Tbh I haven’t read the thread. Just the OP and then a look again to see any responses to mine.
I saw the up arrows for the OP and assumed I’d be in a minority on it. Which is absolutely fine. | |
