Or ablist, or body-shaming or discriminating based on appearance. What is fair game in your book?
Phil Foden - [insert title update here as he is past the "has he got potential?" point now]

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Same line as it is in comedy. It's possible to touch on certain subjects and topics in a smart way.
Straight up calling Foden's Mum a slag/slut isn't that.
Can you provide some examples because I'm not sure a load of pissed up blokes who work 9-5 quite have the wit a comic does.
Leaving player's families out if it is reasonable, isn't it?
Football fans should start acting like snooker fans, a polite clap for a good pass and a jolly good roar for a goal
In seriousness this is tame compared to the Wenger chant.

We will miss the good old days when humour is banned.
Didn't realise that we should excuse all of that because people are drunk.
Maybe some of you are still trapped in an age where you need to chant that shite and be pissed when you watch football but others live in one now where it's possible to support your team, have funny chants, have chants in general while in a non-toxic atmosphere.
Give me some examples of these funny inoffensive chants.
A simple google will lead you to many.
Then it won't take you long to share some.
The good old days of "your mum is a slag"? If that's what gets binned, good riddance to unfunny "banter".
"‘He’s big, he’s red, his feet stick out the bed’ (chant about Peter Crouch)"
Here you go. Simple, inoffensive, funny.
That's body shaming.
Personally I would just stop fans going to football stadiums.
Nope.
Body shaming is the act of making negative or humiliating comments about someone's body size, shape, or appearance, and can occur towards oneself or others.
That's nice. It isn't any of that.
Mocking his height is pretty disgusting.
Yeah, your trolling is boring now.
I'm not trolling, I'm taking your line of thinking to its extreme to see if you are consistent.Yeah, your trolling is boring now.
Cant believe anyone is trying to defend this "your mum is a slag" chant to be honest. Its a pathetic chant.
Nope.
As it is well known Crouch finds the chant funny and that it wasn't and isn't sung in a mocking or humiliating fashion or in terms of body shaming.
Comparing that to Phil Foden's mum is a slut is just daft in terms of thinking they're on the same level.
Don't give two shits about the chant but it's beautiful how wank he was against us
No mention of opposition fans recently chanting about our captain looking like a rat?
2025 and we're defending troglodytes who can't handle their alcohol and hate their sad little lives.
Quality control
Christ, it was a football chant, get over yourself.
We are living in a time where the weak and pathetic are trying to take over the world and are demanding we be like them.
People often act like that to disguise the hurt they feel. Better to be cautious than offensive.
Also, it's a crap, unfunny chant.
I'm all for body slamming.
If you say so.
Players and managers being mocked for being fat, tall, short or ugly is pretty much accepted in Football.
Abuse towards player's families is always looked down upon.
I don't think we should be singing about scousers eating rats in council houses anymore. Times have moved on, with shared ownership a larger % may own their property.
Nemanja chant would be a no-no too.
Feed the scousers
️Kicking a blue (encourages violence)
️Not true at all, but why should one be acceptable and not the other?
We are living in a time where anyone saying 'that's a bit nasty" is met with petulant wailing. Get over yourself.
Because Phil Foden is a footballer, his mum isn't.
It’s not a good chant. But yeh I’m going towards the side of ‘the games gone’.
It’s going towards the direction of not being aloud to chant anything insulting. Soon we won’t even be aloud to swear.
I remember how horrified the USA fans were towards me and my mates in the World Cup. We were singing ‘this is how it feels to be city, this is how it feels to be small’ but replacing city with America. They were so offended.

He has literally only shown up and performed when Pep's machine is well oiled, when everything is working perfectly as it should and there is a core group of other world class players setting the foundations.
I don't think it's any coincidence that he's been poor this season when City have struggled and that he's never shown up in an England shirt either where things are also more dysfunctional.
To me he's quickly coming across as the type of player that is a brilliant secondary piece of an already successful side but will never be the main man. Truly elite attacking players are capable of creating their own magic when things aren't going perfectly and I've just never seen him conjure up those moments when the chips are down like Jude, Palmer, Saka etc have. He plays only on the level of the rest of the team's at in matches and is never able to rise above it.
What side of the line does the Bruno Fernandes chant fall on?
That's false then. He did plenty of that last season.
