A far more sensitive and constructive reaction compared to some of the Poundland Piers Morgan nonsense posted by the Male Online ‘political correctness gone mad’ crowdIs it actually woke people behind this policy of the FA to charge footballers for historic tweets before they were professionals?
Or just bitter fans of other clubs?
A sensible policy would be for the FA to give these educational courses on a mandatory basis to all players when they sign for premier league clubs from overseas, or sign professional or scholarship terms.
Plenty of money to do this at PL and Championship level, and plenty of free time in afternoons after training to do it.
This gives them immunity for social media posts made before this but any future breaches and they get the book thrown at them, on the basis that they cannot argue they didn't know any better.
It’s woke culture and now we’ve reached a place where society has progressed so far, the busy cunts have to either invent discrimination or go back in time to punish people.Is it actually woke people behind this policy of the FA to charge footballers for historic tweets before they were professionals?

Some busy **** and the FA are the sameReally? To be sure of that you would have to know who reported the tweet to the FA.
Seems a bit ridiculous this. It was for an apparently homophobic tweet he made nine years ago, when he was 14 years old. Not really sure what the FA are seeking to achieve with such charges. Surely there should be a statute of limitations for stuff like this?
No, I think many 14 year olds will say all manner of stupid shit for various reasons. Retrospectively punishing them for it a decade later is madness and serves no real purpose.Whilst I take the point isn't the danger a racist or homophobic teen in the youth set up can post what he wants knowing that afterwards he is in the clear in say 3 years? You will never fully change what people think in my opinion but you can change how they express themselves and if you want to change that you have to act on historical tweets.
