Wales rugby bosses have banned choirs from singing fan favourite Delilah at the Six Nations, because the song is about a man stabbing his girlfriend
A Principality Stadium spokesperson said: “Delilah will not feature on the playlist for choirs for rugby internationals at Principality Stadium."The WRU removed the song from its half-time entertainment and music play list during international matches in 2015. Guest choirs have also more recently been requested not to feature the song during their pre-match performances and throughout games.
Calls have been made several times in recent years to outlaw the song, but Mr Jones himself previously said he thought it was not sexist."It's not political, it's about a man just losing it," he said in 2014. "I wasn’t thinking that I was the man that was killing the girl when I was singing the song, I was acting out the part and that’s what the song is.
"There is however plenty of precedent in art and literature, prominently in Shakespearean tragedies for instance, for negative aspects of life to be portrayed."Warren Gatland, the Wales head coach.Charlotte Wathan, the former head of Welsh women's rugby, said that a male colleague joked that he wanted to "rape" her."Someone referring about me in an office environment that they wanted to rape me," she told the BBC.
