Ravel Morrison Homophobic Tweet

[paulmacca10]

Shouldn't this be getting the same level of media interest as Suarez?

 

Seriously, isn't he guilty of the same crime of discrimination?

 

Shouldn't he get the same punishment?

 

Don't particularly want a full debate again, just thought these things as I was reading about Morrison.

[Trumo]

It didn't happen on the pitch so that might explain why there are differences as you've pointed out.

[paulmacca10]

Right, so another issue to come out of this is that being discriminatory off the pitch is not as bad as on the pitch? That can't be right can it?

Homophobia isn't a big issue for the FA.

 

 

[zuluwhiskybravo]

Homophobia isn't a big issue for the FA.

 

Is homophobia illegal ?

[sir roger]

Is homophobia illegal ?

 

No, but at least it's not compulsory anymore.

Unless the guy he was calling a 'faggot' is actually gay, then it is nothing like the Suarez situation. Plus Morrison is some no mark player from the lower leagues.

 

Not much in it for the press is my view.

[Biscao]

so it would be fine for Evra to call Suarez a nigger?

[seamus o'lunacy]

morrison is a no mark at present, but he's been accused of breaking the same rule as suarez. If found guilty, surely the punishment, should be the same or similar.

 

the greaseball macheda also posted a homophobic tweet that the fa have to decide upon.

[Major Tom]

so it would be fine for Evra to call Suarez a nigger?

 

Not for me, no. But if I was to call a white guy a nigger, it kind of loses it's racist connotations and becomes some kind of puerile insult. That was my point. Obviously.

[redsoxs]

anyone got a pic of the tweet?

[Major Tom]

“Crack head ? Go suck out u little faggot your a guy that talks if u see me you try slap me I'm in manchester every week.”

 

No pic but this is the tweet.

 

Classy bloke.

[BringbackBiscan]

homophobic comments is small time to this scum bag.

Abuse in a club shirt, in a game played under a sporting association's rules,is clearly different from a Tweet made in a player's own time.

 

It will be interesting to see exactly what the charge is.

Racism seems to be in a league of its own really when it comes to ruining a reputation, second only to being a paedophile in the spheres of fame. There are people in the House of Lords who've been to prison while in politics, there's countless famous people out there who've smacked women around, abused their kids down the phone like Arec Barrwin, taken drugs, you name it, and they've still come back from it. Racism is a real career killer though, both sides of the pond, and - like being a paedo, one of the few things which really sticks.

[clangers]

Yep racism is the only real issue to the FA, its their primary weapon in their ongoing feud with FIFA. I'm not for one minute suggesting that a zero tolerance to racism isn't correct even if they've misjudged Suarez. Racism, homophobia and violence are all hate crimes it seems peculiar that the FA only focus on racism? Given that the 2022 World Cup is to be played in Qatar, the very personification of homophobia, I assume England's non-attendance is assured?

[torahboy]

This thread is just so fucking gay.

Not always the case, sometimes the media seem to forgive. Does anyone know when Pete Townsends book he was researching is being published?

[Megadrive Man]

Homosexuals are gay.

[Heinze]

You guys need to fuckin' chill and have one of these.

 

[s(k)aturation]

 

 

I used to fuckin love these.

[TheHowieLama]

Remember when you Ma would say "Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where its been!"

 

In this case, you kinda do.

Fuck all will happen. Michael Ball got fined 6 grand for giving Anthony Cotton out of Coronation Street, a load of shit on twitter.

My mum has got all of Michael Balls albums.

[AJBlaikie]

Micheal Ball recently got a £6,000 fine for a homaphobic twitter comments and has since left Leicester by mutual consent. Below is what is reported.

 

On 24 January 2012, Ball was fined £6,000 by the Football Association for homophobic comments made on Twitter about the actor Antony Cotton.[20] While Cotton was a contestant on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, Ball wrote, “That fucking queer. Get back to your sewing machine in Corrie, you moaning bastard.

 

If the F.A are going to take a stance on one issue then they need to take the same stance all issues involving discrimination.
