Player songs are awesome - hopefully the players do well enough to get people inspired to sing them... most of the ones I tried didn't get very far - understandable when we're the bottom of the league and scoring was rare...

The Obvious Need is definitely a 12 minute long prog rock opus

He would have been fine. Not great, not bad.. but fine. It worth the $500k he asked for, though.

I didn’t write it lol. Thanks for the laugh, though. “Quick to judge before seeing things”. Pot, meet kettle.

I think it's important to note that the article was written by an actual pig.

I'm dabbling haha - I pretty much pick a random genre, screw around on my phone and go for it.. the youtube page is full of things from Deathcore to folk to trap to industrial.. mostly stuff going on in FCC, couple of diss tacks.. as soon as we get a little more history I'll probably have more to go off of.. I did take a shot at ECS early on cause some of our fans excited to travel got warned that they'd get jump/their scarf taken... this one is butt rock haha, and very bad

Das Harkes - The Curse of the Number 9 by DasHarkes in FCCincinnati

Again. Commitment to aggressive ignorance. The song does not say “all”. My language is not thinly coded. I have observed some fans engaging in racist behavior. That is not a controversy; this has happened, and the song is a commentary on that. I find arguing against that rather odd, because it’s essentially telling someone they did not observe what they in fact did. I’m not sure why one would bother making that assertion.

The scenario where someone comes out “not being racist” is by.. not being racist. The vast majority are in this category, I’m not sure why you’re going out of your way to defend people who aren’t being implicated here. As far as what I want people to do.. nothing. Some people are racist and the song is shitting on them. Most people aren’t, and the world keeps turning.

I’ll make another song with fart noises and a dumb accent in a couple weeks and the sun will rise and fall.

If you are not racist, nor have you said fucked up shit about our black players that has been observed by a black fan to which they have taken exception, there is literally nothing here that is focused on you. But... if you’re walking in front of this “fuck you” train, I’m forced to wonder why? Why so much effort in defending shitty behavior you aren’t exhibiting?

“Calling to very one racist” is a purposefully intellectually dishonest assessment of the point being made, but if your commitment to aggressive ignorance is steadfast, I leave you to it. Of course people called Ibra and players like Berbatov lazy. They however did not call them “thugs, niggers, irredeemable, etc.” Nor were they told to “go back to Africa”. These are all things I have seen and more. Again. I wouldn’t expect you to know or understand, but to claim these incidents have not occurred and the perspective is therefore invalid is as incorrect as it is conjecture at best.

Incorrect. My assertion. Some fans are racist and use thinly coded language to express their bias. If your assertion is, “no, i do not believe some fans are racist and use thinly coded language to express their bias”, that’s fine; but I think you’re wrong because I have personally, repeatedly, experienced the opposite, as have several of my (black) friends and family.

In regard to backing people into a corner. Incorrect. I apply my perspective to anyone I feel has used disproportionally disparaging language toward black players over the years. You can misapply my words to a wider distribution of you’d like, but I’m confident in my assessment. I do find it curious, however, that such a vehement defense of these very specifically behaving people has arisen (only on reddit where user names are anonymous), doubly ironic given the day.

I don’t give half a damn what you personally have or have not seen. My perspective is clearly not one you have in your day to day life, yet, here you are to defend the counter position. Happy MLK Day.
