Originally posted by CambridgeEagle I expect them to be consistent with their approach. They've decided to effectively brush this under the carpet simply because he's a player. NO. They are taking a sensible attitude because the offence happened six years ago when he wasn't one of their players. I have no doubt that if a player made a homophobic tweet now their reaction would be very different

Originally posted by mattteo Oh my God, he called him a "thing". Oh my God!! Let's ban him!!! God, I hate these feminists, LGBTs and black people who victimise themselves. Nobody can be loved by everyone, get over it! I've had slurs at me because I was fat and I didn't get any defence on social media and nobody was banned for calling me "fat" all my childhood. Not a very helpful reply but the double standards of Brighton are unbelievable. They have been "bleating" on for years about the homophobic chants they endure, the club allegedly have a zero tolerance but as their player has issued an apology everything is ok. I do not consider how long ago the tweets were made to be relevant, indeed the FA didn't when it was Andre Gray. Isn't this the club who fully supported Bong in his "racist" complaint against Rodriguez and then complained that Burnley fans booed their player. Perhaps Gareth Thomas may like to contribute to this discussion

Maybe the club's approach is sensible but please explain the difference between this and Andre Gray. The only difference I can see is that their CEO has very close friends within the heirarchy of the FA

Forgive and forget as it was a few years ago?

Originally posted by CambridgeEagle Duffy clearly in the wrong and Brighton clearly two-faced on this issue. Shame on them both. You're making too big of a deal. People can't even speak their minds anymore. This is worse than in nazi or communist societies. Everybody should have the God-given right to tell someone else he's a "thing". He didn't hit or injure the man in any way.

You can't claim a lack of free speech because it's socially unacceptable to make racist/sexist/homophobic comments. Everyone should have the right to be free from discrimination or abuse based on their sexuality, gender or skin colour.

No, you only represent one side of our free speech laws....it isn't the whole story or lay of the land at all. We have laws that both protect free speech and seek to punish it. The law is quite contradictory on this matter and the Police carefully interprets the law and pick their battles. Something they tend to do often not on a wholly ethical basis. For example, they will go after some young girl reposting rap lyrics on Facebook (lyrics that were sung out at a concert in the capital) but then they won't touch say Katie Hopkins. The reason is one can afford a good lawyer and a legal battle and the other can't. They won't touch her and risk losing precisely because the law is highly subjective and faces two ways.

Edited by Stirlingsays (23 May 2018 8.12pm) So you think free speech is impeded as it's socially unacceptable to make racist/sexist/homophobic comments? I was pointing out that people calling someone out for making such comments are not attacking free speech.
