Well horror Nile Ranger is in trouble to name but one player for tweeting what they consider homophobic Tweets www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17178936Now according to one High Power legal brain the FA could find themselves in court for restricting a persons human rights and freedom of expression no matter what the content of the tweet if they do it outside work and don't aim the tweet or comments at the organization they work for but are just expressing their view. Why do clubs not just but in the contracts that while employed by them that they are not allowed to post any comment that might hurt a clubs reputation

It's a fair point, Sherl, but legislation and custom and practice already exist for the EMPLOYER to do this, dunno about the FA. Years ago we used it to sack some staff who had behaved appallingly at a works do, outside the place of work and working hours, on the grounds of impact on the company's reputation, went to tribunal and won.
Alternatively, football clubs could be required to employ players with at least half a brain

You will never find a player with half a brain lol.
Just amazes me that the FA have nothing better to sort out first, like the england manager maybe for example lol

This should be down to the club to deal with, internal employee disciplinary and sanctions. If the club doesn't take action, then the FA take the club to task for bringing the game into disrepute. One thing that should go is the PFA's limit of 2 weeks salary as a fine, especially in the top two divisions, it is no deterrent to lose £40k when you are earning over a million a year. But what do the FA do that is sensible, nowt. Do they listen to supporters, no, so I'll be buggered if I am going to lose any sleep over this one......
