At the darts tournament, fans sang about Starmer: Sky Sports muted the broadcast.

The choir at the arena contains censorship

According to The Sun: During the World Grand Prix tournament, which was broadcast on SKY SPORTS, fans began chanting about Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

This chant echoed in the Mattioli arena during the match between Danny Noppert and Stephen Bunting.

Fans clearly chanted:

“Keir Starmer is a W***er”

to the tune of The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army'.

However, viewers noted that this melody was quickly muted, likely by the SKY SPORTS channel.

Fans actively commented on this situation on social media.

One user posted on X:

“The crowd noise was shocking haha they could’ve made it a bit less obvious.”

Another added:

“It did seem like that’s what happened! Suddenly went very quiet!”

Yet another joked:

“Starmer’s lost the Mattioli Arena. He must resign.”

Match results

Stephen Bunting, a fan favorite, had an easy win in his match but ultimately lost to Dutchman Danny Noppert, who won 3-1 and advanced to the quarter-finals.

Next up was world number one Luke Humphries, who defeated Krzysztof Ratajski and kept his chances of winning the £120,000 jackpot alive.

Teen sensation dart player Luke Littler also continues in the fight and will play against reigning champion Mike De Decker on Thursday evening.

At the same time, the reaction of the channel to this situation highlights the reluctance towards political statements during sports events. This may provoke discussions about the limits of freedom of speech in the sporting environment and the influence of media on the perception of such expressions.
