(CNN)-Choirs have banned from performing Tom Jones hit "Delilah" during Wales' international rugby matches at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff due to the song's "problematic" nature, the UK's PA Media reported.

And this is in his homeland of Wales.
The UK is a few letter short of *UCK.
It is about time that the authorities have caught up with Tom Jones. All those pussycats who threw panties on stage were facilitators!
Tom Jones performed this song numerous times for Her Majesty The Queen.
I have this video from an Australian Football Grand Final where he sang it.

Can he at least sing “She’s A Lady!”
Generation Bubble Wrap strikes again.
Sing it anyway. If they can’t do that, stop complaining.
RE woke Tyranny:
Sing it anyway… Everyone in the stadium should sing and hold up a middle finger while doing so
No. It’s a binary cisgender mansplaining patriarchal song.
Why, why, why Delilah? ...
Paul Anka wrote the song he’s a lifelong supporter of the Liberal Party in his native land of Canada that has to carry some weight.
And don’t even get them started on “What’s new, pussycat?”... which reeks of sexism, sexual harassment, grooming, speciesism yada yada yada
Nope
How is he in any position to know that for certain?!? /s
Ay Yi Yi!!
So all the songs not in the My Little Pony style are to be obliterated?
I’ll start with Delia, a heartbreaking folk song of a man asking about his “fine” (sentencing) for killing a work crew member in a fair fight defending the honor of a low moraled woman he loved from afar. He is sentenced to life in prison but she never even once “had time for him” but was shared by several of the work crew for sex.

Or perhaps he is a biologist?
No, but “He’s a Lady” might be OK.
It’s a shame Delilah is being banned. However, since all other sports appear to have gone woke, at least there’s Rugby. Go Wales!
