Do something banana boots

by Garry Mann » 15 Jan 2007 13:51

A Reading fan has been banned from the Mad Stad for shouting this at Lita, apparently it's racist :?

Why? It's probably because I'm not racist that I don't understand :roll:

QuaLOLty nickname!

Not deserving of a ban IMHO as not really racist on it's own considering the bright yellow boots Lita has.

What a suprise...
:roll: :roll: :roll:

I'd like to find out exactly what is racist about referring to Lita's yellow boots as bananas...

Well done to the person who banned him, I bet you feel really big and clever now.

I'd consider taking the contents of one of these before taking anything Mr Mann says on face value.

Leroy's boots may be yellow but hardly constitute banana boots

these are banana boots

Heard that fans of a team were shouting to one of their players wearing red boots "he's got tomatoes on his feet" then when he was replaced with someone wearing yellow ones they say "he's got bananas on his feet" (it may have been the other way around)

No idea the team, the players or their colour, not that it matters, i've thought that they look like banana's on his feet and I would think that about it if Kitson was wearing them, just because Lita is black does that make it a racist comment? It shouldn't.

Yesterday's EP clearly used the words "banana boots" when dissing Lita and his perfomance on Sunday and awarding him a 6 - Nick Ive I think it was who used the term. HTH.
