It's true that homosexuals are sometimes derisively referrred to as fairies but the guy below could equally well have been referring to the feebleness of the "Little People" (as they call them in Ireland)
A Premier League manager has been accused of homophobia after he criticised his team for playing 'like fairies'.
Furious viewers said the comment from QPR boss Neil Warnock on BBC sports show Match of the Day Live was a stereotype and should not have been screened.
The BBC's complaints department agreed the remark was unwelcome and apologised that it had not been redressed while the programme had been on air. It said it would not take any further action because programme-makers had already 'expressed regret'.
Warnock's comments came in a TV interview broadcast on April 23, after his team's 2-2 draw with Cardiff City. He said: 'We defended like fairies in the first half but the first two goals could have come straight out of the Premier League.'

Look out tinkerbell youve become a vicrim of PC idioticy
Ironically, "fairies" (along with queers) is a word gays use to describe themselves all the time. Why words like, freaks, cretins, disease-spreaders, and abnormals, aren't used is beyond me.
And who says 'fairies' can't play good football or soccer - that's the bigotry!

Mr. Bird appears to be a victim of a failed educational system.
Dont annony me annon 5:47
and so who gave it one?
...Just as an old man may call another old man "you old fart", etc., but may not welcome the same comment from say a young girl.
(Sorry for typo - 'dispariging' should read 'disparaging' of course.)
But now the problem with homosexuals adopting the words means that those once innocuous, or even flattering words are now officially associated with homosexuality. As a straight man, I can't wear a rainbow on my shirt, which used to mean a symbol of God's love, without being labeled a homosexual--something I certainly do not want to happen. So my them trying to "neutralize" such terms, they have steered them to meanings that can no longer be associated with their original intent.
Well isn't that the fault of heterosexuals using such terms in the first place?!
As for rainbow flags, doesn't 'Greenpeace' also use or appropriate it as their own? While certain ultra-nationalists around the world use their country's or region's official flag as their own?
I guess it's just a problem you have to live with or find a more original flag or badge to wear. (Surely a symbol of God's love could have many possibilities, tho' I thought the 'Cross' or 'Crucifix' was the ultimate symbol of God's loving sacrifice, so why not wear that as so many do!)
Perhaps God's love includes homosexuals!
Perhap's God's love is very strained by the comments of homophobic bigots. (Jesus certainly criticized the Pharisees for looking down on people they regarded as "sinful".)
