People want to see society via the prism of football. Remember the racism scandals last year? They're relatively tame in the grand scheme of things, meriting punishment but not the outrage that papers had at the time. Even the Government said they would have to step in if football didn't get it's house in order! The Government would do better to examine in society as a whole rather than pretending it was a problem that begins and ends with Football. A traditionally working class sport, sometimes poorly educated players and players from abroad? Not a surprise that occasionally one of them would say something unacceptable.

Same here. People look to football to 'set an example' when it's clearly not suited to the task. It's populated with a lot of morons and most of them are in the stands.
