Gerwyn Price left in stitches as Welsh darts fans make light of offensive chant

Gerwyn Price was left in stitches as Welsh darts fans made light of an offensive chant in the Premier League on Thursday evening.Price, 36, was pictured cracking a wry smile at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff as the crowd rose to ironically chant: "Sheep s******* b*******, we know what we are."The chant is a racial slur sung in a derogatory manner towards people from Wales, due to their large population of sheep.And the world number one, a proud Welshman, was clearly on board with the sarcastic jibes from the welsh fans, sporting a wide grin as he took on James Wade on night 1 of the 2022 Premier League season.Though Price seemed to be overwhelmed stepping up to the oche on home soil, losing the first leg on his throw before falling 2-0 behind shortly after.Donning his new blonde highlights, "The Iceman" was able to battle back to 3-4 in the contest but rarely threatened to break Wade's throw.And at 3-5, the Markham-born tungsten thrower was broken for the second time, falling to an opening day defeat at the quarter-final stage of the revamped competition.The shock result was clearly unexpected by the Cardiff faithful who booed and jeered "The Machine" throughout the match.HAVE YOUR SAY!
