Michael Herbert of Leicester is a hero and has freedom of speech

[TitoFan]

Well hold on there. This guy wasn't arrested was he. He was banned from football matches for 5 years.


I'm all for freedom of speech and all, but I'm also very intolerant of racism, sexism, or any other -ism, especially when blatantly posted on social media. I think as adults we have a responsibility to comport ourselves civilly in public and when we don't, sometimes consequences have to be paid. Again... the guy was not arrested. But someone slapped him on the wrist and basically told him they don't approve of his behavior.

At some point you have to begin being even-handed with people and their incidents. We can't on the one hand decry racism against some groups, while winking at others. Drunkenness is often used as a "free pass" for unacceptable behavior, but again..... as adults you have take responsibility for your own actions. And shit like this just perpetuates hatred among the weak-minded and susceptible people of the world.

Only my opinion, of course.

Oh shit, he wasn't ARRESTED? Damn, it was just a 5 year ban. Well I'll change the title.

Hmmmmm..... another point, Well it was in Russia, so that's why.

UK he'd be arrested.

He may be a cunt, but has every right.
