Football fan jailed 2 months for calling black football player a baboon

Not to defend the guy but holy shit its scary how many people don;t see an issue with this.

I can only imagine the number of people online who could potentially face jail time in England. Such a precedent could really clog up the court system.

This isn;t harassment this is some twat going off on facebook like thousands of people do every day. There was no evidence this was even a serial offender.

I'm willing to bet some English posters on here have said worse... have fun in jail...

This sort of shit is great fodder for the alt right.

That’s Bambino…NOT Baboon!!!

Was this football football or soccer also known as football. I remember watching Bryant Gumbel doing a piece on soccer that showed fans hurling the n word, making money noises and throwing bananas at the players. I think things have become better because haven't seen this topic addressed of late. Racisim and hooligans was rampant in England

I checked with the local police and fortunately they only monitor up to 5th tier poker forums so PFA can continue to pursue its well established racist, homophobic and mysoginistic agenda without fear of imprisonment.
