Taken in conjunction with Mr Dolan's Blogger comments, it really makes you wonder why football as a sport seems to be a breeding ground for prejudice. The above is an extreme example, but why does it happen at every game that people comment on Dolan's size? If, as individuals, they passed him in the street, would they comment on his size? Is it a safety in numbers thing?
What is the difference between slagging and prejudice? Ollie Cahill being abused last Friday was in my opinion fair enough. Supporters not only encourage their own team but try to put their opponents off. But where is the line? I heard a good few monkey chants directed at Mark Rutherford when he was at Shels. Obviously that is unacceptable. Is making disparaging remarks about Beckham's wife and kids acceptable? I don't think it is, but I'd be interested in hearing other views.
