It's getting lots of press today as the
Football anti-racism network Fare has filed a complaint to Fifa.
Some people are seeing a link between the song and lynching and burning. I can't be sure obviously but my feeling is it's a crass nasty song but it comes from a playground chant rather than the Deep South and it's a personal attack against the Ferdinand brothers rather than racism.
