When I think back to some of the chants you'd hear in the men's game. It just puts this into perspective.

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.

[–] GarfieldDaCat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Planet_Funk99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

"She's got chlamydia" is the alleged chant

[–] SentientChowMein@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] XHeraclitusX@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I agree, it's a bizarre and shitty thing to be chanting at someone but it isn't misogynistic.

More “hurty words” prosecutions. Jesus H Christ what a time to be alive

[–] d_smogh@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] I_am_zlatan1069@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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”

[–] Ezekiiel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We do not have “freedom of speech” in the UK

[–] jesus700@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] srtpg2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bit? It’s fully Orwellian

[–] TheOtherOther0ne@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In the words of Jesus himself, I agree

[–] Kenny_dies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s Orwellian if you ask me (and a bunch of other commenters)

[–] ThatIsVasilyGrossman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"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.

[–] VagP22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Boys, it turns out I'm getting the death penalty

[–] greezyo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

England is a bit of a fascist shithole nowadays

[–] make_thick_in_warm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Saudi league better for fans of misogyny anyways

[–] TigerBasket@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Children of men was based on just if England kept pace with what they were doing.

[–] wreckedham@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Our parties don't agree on much until it comes to reducing civil liberties

[–] thedudeabides-12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Getting arrested is a bit much way worse is being chanted at every single footie game that's fcking ridiculous...

[–] Jor94@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lets get the arrests out for all the misandrists chanting the referees a wanker week in week out

[–] smala017@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah the double standard here truly is remarkable.

[–] myersjw@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can someone be arrested for chants in support of Palestinians?

[–] Chaz_Carlos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Reddit in general unfortunately

[–] FunIrishBean@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haven’t seen any of that. Most of Reddit is extremely vocally pro-Palestine.

[–] Actual_Physics@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Depends on the subreddit

[–] chloezinha77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] effervescentrist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

they let big media outlets villainize minorities

What do you mean by this

[–] snoocs@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Have you heard of Fox News?

[–] chloezinha77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fox News spreading fake bullshit which leads to these minorities losing civil rights

[–] thejackalreborn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] AlcoholicJizzThrower@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What ever happened to free speech?

[–] UrMumGoesDoggin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Britain doesn't have it.

It has freedom expression (apparently), butbthebpolice arrest people for freedom of expression also.

[–] Razzle_Dazzle08@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Crossx1993@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] FuriousBeard@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Imagine knowing your tax dollars are being spent on police resources arresting teenagers for saying a football referee has chlamydia. England is fucked.

[–] tryCharlie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Great. But when they call a male referee a cunt it is not sexism anymore… smh 🙄

[–] Lurkay1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oi, you got a loicense for that misogyny?

[–] UrMumGoesDoggin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ironically it seems we don't.

[–] Wide_Challenge3880@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ban them from the ground but arresting people for this kind of thing is awful and a super slippery slope

[–] maxime0299@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Getting arrested over something like this is outrageous. Meanwhile you’ve got actual criminals running around freely.
