pandarilla Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Yes, I suppose it did. I never really thought of the remake that way, but yes, "no more years of hurt" does take it in that direction, albeit I'd imagine that had more to do with demands of metre, than a philosophical shift. I remember the video featuring a lame Kuntz joke, as well as that custard thing they did to create the World Cup trophy. I know that Frank Skinner regretted the new 1998 version, because he thought the song belonged to 1996 and that time couldn't be recaptured. I do genuinely believe that it's actually an added burden that the modern England team could do without. It manages to piss off, and motivate, much of the footballing world.Agreed.The meaning of the song has evolved into something much more unpleasant - and the reason for this is partly accidental (trying to find a lyric that fits), and partly the deeper arrogance of the English national psyche. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people simply didn’t have an amplified voice. They were even more marginalised in the mainstream press. And Jason Lee called them out on it, so it’s not as if racism is somehow relative to the furore it causes. That these things are called out now is simply a reframing of debate to include underrepresented voices, not that the whole “racism thing” is being called out more. The dynamic of agency is changing, not interpretation of racism. Edited July 13, 2021 by Savage Henry 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Glad to hear that going on telly in blackface with a pineapple on your head for a hilarious impression, causing the player to face specific abuse throughout the rest of his career, and never apologizing to the person in question while setting yourself up as a moral arbiter on racism, was not racist because it was in 1996. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Boyle being a tit doesn’t make Baddiel less of one. A bit of me wishes Lee had gone on the show to watch the b*****ds squirm. Matthew Kelly at least avenged on his behalf in Skinner’s case. No-one (including Lee) criticised about this at the time.Lee discussing it was much more recent, and both comedians have apologised for the joke.Context matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you even mean specifically when you say context matters here? My argument is that they shouldn't be 'cancelled' - which was the original mention here.Context matters, as for me there was no intention of racism in the joke. In the mid 90s, the damaging effect of blackface was not something that was widely discussed or known about.The intention behind the joke really does matter. But due to the change in our society (which i fully support), anyone making a similar blackface joke today could not use that excuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just my opinion but it's not like Baddiel and Skinner have doubled down. As far as I am aware they've acknowledged it was wrong publicly. They've owned it. It was racist in 1996. It was wrong in1996. I don't think they should be cancelled for it though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they should rightly be hammered for the disturbances relating to getting into the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
