England rugby fans have sung "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" at every match since 1988 but US academics have recently criticised their choice of tune, saying the song - a traditional African-American spiritual piece about the desire to escape from slavery - is not being used appropriately.

Utterly pathetic. It will continue to be sung.
