Premier League investigation unit

Some of the things she said were absolutely abhorrent and I'm not sure she'd be receiving the same support on here had she made the same comments in relation to disabled people, Jews, blacks, etc. She didn't offer thorough arguments about her gender critical views, she claimed "the Nazis were right" and that "trans ideology is Nazi", amongst a whole host of other ahistorical, nasty bile. At the moment it's just more acceptable to make vile statements about trans people, just like it was okay once upon a time to make prejudiced, derogatory marks about other marginalised groups. I also think Ms. Smith has been begging for while to get in on the GB News/Talk TV circuit and this is her window of opportunity. But it is unusual that Newcastle have been paying such close attention and waiting to get the police involved when it doesn't seem like her views would be relevant in a football stadium. I sit around people at City who I know don't have the most up-to-date views on certain matters, but we never discuss politics and society, we just chat about City and comment on the game. Then we go home. And, as others have said, what do Newcastle's owners think about trans people, or gays, or blacks, or journalists for that matter. An unusual case.

Not one of her comments broke English law. None of the posts related to Newcastle United or the Premier League. Whilst you may disagree with what she says what has she done wrong to get banned from attending matches? You state that people around you don't hold up to date views but you just discuss City. That seems to me to be exactly what she has done. I cant see a difference.

Yes that's what I was saying. You can see it right there that I call the case "unusual" and find it slightly galling that Newcastle of all organisations are concerned about what Ms. Smith has been saying. I was just acknowledging that more people in this thread would be in favour of the decision to ban her until 2026 if she'd said "the Nazis were right" in relation to disabled people, Jews, blacks, etc.

Personally anyone that uses the argument 'the Nazis were right' is an idiot to be avoided.

I don't think that's the issue. What she said may have been abhorrent (I haven't read it so I don't know), but the issue is the Premier League installing a team of what are ostensibly spies to monitor fans social media. It's an Orwellian road we don't want to be going down.
