The Athletic was alerted to the scale of this problem by Adrian Barnett, a professor of statistics at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
He downloaded every FPL name using the website’s API, or Application Programming Interface. Once he had downloaded details for all 7.5 million teams, he began searching for offensive terms.

I new term I recently heard applies to this guy.
"An offence Archeologist" - Some one that goes digging for things to be offended by when no one has actually made any complaint or comment.
Also applies to the media when they go trawling through decade old tweets or facebook posts looking for something a politician of=r other public figure may have said when they were 18 and then try to apply it to them today.
The really annoying thing about this is the way organisations and establishments pander and react to this.
If there was something really bad like "All Jews must die FC" . then of course that is unacceptable and against the law. But "sex drugs and Carlton Cole" is genius.
