Words cannot describe how disgusting, tasteless and offensive the YouTube video below truly is. It takes a lot to actually shock a person who works in news, but this display is shocking to even the most hardened journalist who’s been working in the field for decades.
It’s almost like this large group of Manchester City fans saw the racist song composed by bigoted Chelsea fans in a Paris metro station and thought to themselves: “how can we try to go even lower and act more reprehensible?”
Yes, these Man City fans went there; mocking the Munich Air Disaster follow City’s 4-2 loss to United in the Manchester Derby. Forty-four people were on board a flight that crashed while trying to take-off in February of 1958. Most of Manchester United’s team was on that flight, and a number of United players were among the 23 who lost their lives in the disaster.
The “song” composed and sung by the Man City supporters makes numerous references to the tragedy, and in a manner that is anything but honorable.
