People getting arrested for this sort of stuff seems a bit much.

Bit? It’s fully Orwellian
In the words of Jesus himself, I agree
It’s Orwellian if you ask me (and a bunch of other commenters)
Boys, it turns out I'm getting the death penalty
Great. But when they call a male referee a cunt it is not sexism anymore… smh 🙄
"She's got chlamydia" is the alleged chant
Googling, it looks like this is a thing sometimes chanted at women during football matches? Is this true?
Does anyone have any information? It seems random and odd to me, and I think I am missing the gender angle on it, given that anyone can have chlamydia, and also it is easily treated.
I agree, it's a bizarre and shitty thing to be chanting at someone but it isn't misogynistic.
Stay classy
More “hurty words” prosecutions. Jesus H Christ what a time to be alive
Jesus H Christ what a time to be alive
If only he was. He's probably turning in his grave.
What do you think H stands for?
Would it be Ho? Since apparently the 'virgin' Mary gave birth to him.
Joseph was obviously one gullible bastard.
Remember the final erasure of all forms of freedom of speech is what the ghouls orchestrating this nightmarish society dream of. They do not care an iota about “misogyny”
We do not have “freedom of speech” in the UK
"P A L A C E
Stevey Coppel has VD
Nick nack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
Crystal Palace, fuck off home"
Would the police arrest a female fan for singing this? Would they fuck.
England is a bit of a fascist shithole nowadays
Saudi league better for fans of misogyny anyways
Children of men was based on just if England kept pace with what they were doing.
Our parties don't agree on much until it comes to reducing civil liberties
Lets get the arrests out for all the misandrists chanting the referees a wanker week in week out
Yeah the double standard here truly is remarkable.
Getting arrested is a bit much way worse is being chanted at every single footie game that's fcking ridiculous...
Can someone be arrested for chants in support of Palestinians?
Reddit in general unfortunately
Haven’t seen any of that. Most of Reddit is extremely vocally pro-Palestine.
Depends on the subreddit
I agree that the US style of free-speech where they let big media outlets villainize minorities is wrong, but this seems a bit too soft to arrest people over too.
they let big media outlets villainize minorities
What do you mean by this
Have you heard of Fox News?
Fox News spreading fake bullshit which leads to these minorities losing civil rights
This is completely and utterly absurd. Two 17 year olds with an incredibly mild chant. Imagine being the police officer wasting your time with this. Just tell the kids to stop chanting it and move on.
She’s trying to do her job and shouldn’t have to face abuse for it. If most of you ( or your mum, sister, girlfriend, wife) were abused everyday at work by complete strangers then you’d have a completely different viewpoint.
I’m assuming those downvotes come from those who were left at the dogs home back door as a day old baby because there were no dustbins handy.
Yeah no one is saying the chant is ok, they’re saying it’s absurd they’re getting arrested for it.
Male refs get called things just as bad like 100+ times per game lol?
No one is arresting people over it.
What ever happened to free speech?
Britain doesn't have it.
It has freedom expression (apparently), butbthebpolice arrest people for freedom of expression also.
i keep seeing news of uk police getting more and more involved in things the police shouldn't be involved with in the first place,where this is going?
Imagine knowing your tax dollars are being spent on police resources arresting teenagers for saying a football referee has chlamydia. England is fucked.
Oi, you got a loicense for that misogyny?
Ironically it seems we don't.
Ban them from the ground but arresting people for this kind of thing is awful and a super slippery slope
Getting arrested over something like this is outrageous. Meanwhile you’ve got actual criminals running around freely.
When I think back to some of the chants you'd hear in the men's game. It just puts this into perspective.
