While what the dude did is terrible. And the football team banning him from their stadium fair. I really can't get behind it being illegal. This may be my American sensibilities but he should not face criminal charges for speaking. The team can ban him sure but jail? Seriously?

He’s not in jail. It’s a suspended sentence.
Criminalising speech is such a regrettable thing that it should only be done in the most extreme circumstances. This does not meet the threshold for me.
Glad Wednesday have dished out a considerable ban though.
It's disgusting that this is deemed a criminal offence. He's a moron, but what he did shouldn't have been against the law.
The ‘disgusting’ thing here isn’t his sentence.
Heard and seen way worse in COD lobbies back in the day.
Except he wasn’t in CDD lobbies, he was on the terraces next to the away fans laughing with a picture of a dead child who was well known for supporting Sunderland.

Alcoholic human garbage
It's disgraceful that he's been rewarded with a stadium ban. Surely being forced to watch Wednesday every week would be a severe deterrent.
Why is it so hard for some people to not be giant fucking cunts
tbh I forgot that mascots in soccer are the little kids that walk out with the players, I thought some guy was making fun of a grown man in a glorified furry suit
Suppose that's a fair cop but the wider question is how do you stop an idiot being an idiot?
Should have given the cunt a swift kick to the face and made sure his community service is spent on children's cancer wards. The cunt.
Dickhead move and banworthy from the stadium? Ostracized from the community? Fair. But really? Arrest and sentenced? C’mon UK saying mean things shouldn’t get you locked in a cell. I guess I am just used to American free speech.

Give me some scumbag getting a suspended sentence every now and then over women being abused for getting an abortion after being raped.
Imagine being a 32 year old man and doing that. I know being a dickhead isn't technically a crime and I don't think he should necessarily be charged with anything, but I'm kinda happy he's being shamed like this.
What the fuck
UK = clown world
"alcohol contributed to the offence, which was “out of character”."
They hanged him?
UK is finished smh 🤦♂️
