Stade Francais prove what we have always suspected.....

Blackleaf · Stade Francais prove what we have always suspected.....

People - especially the English - have always suspected that French males are a bit soft and maybe, deep down, all homosexual. And Stade Francais - the Paris rugby union team - have proved us right. The picture above shows some Stade Francais players celebrating after beating Manchester team Sale Sharks 27-16 in the Heineken Cup over the weekend. Yes....those ARE pink flowers on the Stade Francais team's strangely-designed shirts. Not the kind of shirts that supposedly tough rugby players should be wearing. They even made the bevy of scantily-clad, peacock-feathered dancing girls in shocking pink, thigh-high boots who entertained the crowd at half time look threatening.

I would say that it seems a bit suspect that men go around accusing other men of being homosexual because of wearing Pink, they doth protest too much?

Jeez, talk about sour grapes.

So because Stade Francais have pink flowers on their teams shirts and wear them as per their playing contracts, they are all homosexuals?!?! Even if by some freak statistical possibilty, every single member of the team was homosexual, what's the bloody difference?

This is possibly the most bizarre post I've ever seen on this forum, and you've shown yourself up to be nothing but an intolerant little homphobe Blackleaf...

Now seems like a good time to rubbish the whole gay men/pink clothing link.

I'd also like to point out that they don't look gay. Nobody 'looks gay'. Sexual orientation is not, I repeat, is not something that you can work out through someone's wardrobe. Also, the whole soft/gay link is downright offensive.

Does Blackleaf protest too much? No, I think he's just an idiot, who has never (knowingly) got to know anyone outside his little white heterosexual English bubble, so he's had to piece things together from media stereotypes. Perhaps he should spend less time in front of the computer and more time in the real world.

However...

The shirt really doesn't suit them. They should sack whichever designer was crazy enough to believe that it would.

As an ex rugby player myself, who played with a gay team mate, and even if they were all gay - who cares? That just means that Sale were beaten by a bunch of French poofs - doesn't it? I could say; "So much for hard straight englishmen!"- but that would be equally unfair, as I don't beleive for a moment your views are representative of english people.

I would agree that stade's shirts aren't the best but you know blackleaf, in the 19 century the French used to call homosexuality the "malaise anglaise" (forgive my french) as so many young englishmen used to go to Paris to seek sexual liaisons with gay men in places like the folies and gay bordellos (alluded to in the works of painters like Lautrec) because they were tolerated more in Paris than they were in their own country.

Your post sems to continue that trend but for the fact that again it would be unfair to generalise from your example.

Maybe we should call you Pinkleaf to draw attention to your intolerance?

You'r right Azurri, this is a bizzare post!

You would think that the fact your team were beaten by these so called "gays" would stop you from ever posting about it. It would be like Hitler giving out leaflets following Jesse owens victory at the Munich games to make him look bad
