Ellery's reported comments in that piece are a million times worse.

Ellerary's comments should have been punished more harshly

Lovely Bloke

more harshly? they weren't punished at all.

His punishment was retraining- not much of a punishment but one none thee less. He should have been given a much harsher one

The one in this instance is fairer

Punishment reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Flanders is the ruler of the world and anyone with a negative thought is sent in for re-Neducation. "Sexist comment?? Send that man on a course, stat!"

Stuart Ripley is a solicitor?

Both comments are equally hilarious in that people can say them and not instantly know they're wrong. Fascinating into what some people find acceptable

The FA blatantly don't care about the Kick It Out program at all, that much is obvious.

For punishment, he should of been made dress up as a woman for six months, and make sandwiches and tea to be served by him at full time every weekend.

The PC Brigade strikes again for crimes against groupthink. The failure to accept their are other viewpoints outside their own and the apoplectic faux outrage and attempts to disqualify that rings forth from them is always a lesson on how political ideologies transform into normative sacred values unless checked by ridicule.

Overuse of the old thesaurus there I think. Can we get a translation.

I had to double-check that the quotes weren't from Prince Phillip.

Yeah, cause telling a person they can't do a job due to their gender is just a harmless viewpoint.

You don't think there should be legalities around this thing? That it's just groupthink?

The intellect of the content unfortunately does not match the implied intellect of the language used.

But you are the person dismissing or disqualifying other viewpoints as being "the PC Brigade".

Indeed, you are so focussed on having a go at people for expressing their thoughts on the issue and the article in the OP that you have not expressed any view yourself. Was the irony unintended or is this a clever parody?

Fwiw, I think Elleray's comments are far worse then those made by the person penalised. Elleray should have been punished, those comments are pretty jaw dropping.

It seems a bit bizarre that he would get this matter. You'd think it would smack so obviously of favouritism towards someone who presumably paid his PFA dues that they would refer it to one of the tens of thousands of other solicitors or barristers in the UK who could consider it. Indeed I believe Ripley specialises in sports law, when this of course is an issue of discrimination and equality.

More of a groupthink violation specialist I believe, sports law is merely his secondary field.

Elleray avoided punishment after he told Robert McCarthy, a black non-league referee coaching manager, that he "looked rather tanned" and asked him "have you been down a coal mine?"

What the actual ****.

Elleray probably got away with it because McCarthy didn't make a complaint and it seems Elleray apologised pretty swiftly after.

Whereas Cummings seems content to keep on digging.
