Welsh choir won’t sing ‘Delilah’ amid rugby sexism claims
CARDIFF, Wales (AP) — A popular song by Tom Jones that has been a regular feature at Welsh sporting events will not be performed at the Six Nations tournament amid allegations of sexism, bullying and racism at the Welsh Rugby Union. “Delilah” is about a jealous lover seeing a woman with another man and one line reads: “She stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more.” A statement released on behalf of the WRU said the song contains lyrics that are “problematic and upsetting to some supporters.” It will not be sung by a male-voice choir before Wales’ match against Ireland in the Six Nations on Saturday or at future games.
