Monkey Tennis Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 10 hours ago, weegienative said: Its a good point but the answer is simply yes, everything should be protected. Social self policing would be my preferred option as any government intervention in our lives tends to bring negative consequences. That's not to say I think instances like the raheem sterling one the other day aren't repulsive, they are, but I would rather rely on the goodness of people to stand up and say it's not acceptable. If you think this is far fetched, I'll give you an example, albeit anecdotal. Years ago when McLeish was rangers manager we played a run of the mill spl against Livingston (I think, definately a team wearing a yellow kit). A black player committed a really cynical foul when we had a good counter attack, when the player next came to the front post to defend a corner (my seat was 3rd row behind the goal), some idiot started shouting at him calling him the N word. Almost in unison all the people also shouting at him (calling him a cheat etc) turned on the idiot, soon after the police and stewards came to lift him due to folk greasing him in. That's far more preferential in my opinion. This anecdote doesn't best illustrate self policing and the absence of government intervention, if the actual police made an arrest does it?

There was no government policy (take offensive behaviour football act as a prime example of this) which will inevitably be open different interpretations, abuse, stuff being taken out of context and various other things which would negate the purpose behind it. I'm guessing but not sure because I didn't follow them up the stairs, but he probably got kicked out rather than arrested. The police didn't come to take statements off anyone in the area so there would be no evidence to justify a charge. So if that was the case, self policing was effective as the guy would probably be deterred from behaving in that fashion again in the future. The police merely being utilised as conflict resolution.

The offensive behaviour act led to an unworkable set of guidelines which ultimately had to be scrapped. Subjective interpretation of the meaning behind words and garbage like that. As a general rule, the government is terrible at everything with very few, if any, exceptions. Taking that principle into football, I don't want corrupt politicians seeking political point scoring opportunities ruling on certain types of singing or shouts at the football.

No, the collective group is more important because there are more of them. Just like China is more important in global politics than Tonga. You can argue the toss between yourselves and the likes of Annan. In the grand scheme, none of you matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking the public sector is inefficient and tends to be outperformed by the private is right wing nut job territory here now? Jesus, you'd have to Neil Kinnock just to appear centrist. You're right though, those on the left have appeared to be quite a coherent and reality based bunch of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he used to be recognised by those hilarious "ultra" graphics he made, last few times he's created some "I'm incredibly successful in my work life" stories as something to fall back on. Shows he's growing up, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
