Would both parties, in the contract, not have consulted a lawyer? If the contract states that this or that applies and both parties signed then would not all the this and that’s have to be adhered to?🤔

Freedom of speech is not a "sports" topic.

Perhaps you're right. But I thought Godwin's Law stipulated that if you resort to a Hitler comparison then you have lost the argument.

I don't think Suzianne was being "thin-skinned and sensitive". I think she was just trying to sabotage divegeester's wish to chat about this topic specifically with the people who gather on this forum.

BBC news used to be trusted, it isn't anymore.

I think most are siding with the footballer. Everyone should have the right to criticize their own government, regardless of their job title.

Match of the day presenter 😂
