Offended watching soccer? There's an app...

Have you ever been to a football/soccer game and one of the opposing players clearly came within 6 inches (15 cm) of actually making physical contact with one of the home team players, he's rolling around the pitch in obvious faux pain and some opposing fan starts to jeer him? Hearing that person yell "man up" will no longer be tolerated at Anfield.

In the task of adjudicating just what is and isn't acceptable to say at a football game, leading English Premier League club Liverpool has issued a list of banned words to its employees in its efforts to rid football of discriminatory behavior...

"The club wishes to eradicate any form of discrimination or discriminatory behavior both on and off the football pitch," reads the leaked document, which Liverpool confirmed was accurate.




Quote:








The list included terms such as "n****r", "queen", "don't be a woman," "cripple" as well as "princess"and "man up".



This anti racism app below is something I support however. Even American white trash doesn't do monkey howls when black people have control of the ball.

Meanwhile, English anti-racism organization Kick It Out, which this year marks 20 years of battling discrimination, has launched a smart phone app which allows fans to report incidents of racism at matches.



"It gives football fans the opportunity to report a racist incident if someone is causing a nuisance in their vicinity or trying to spoil their entertainment," former England and Tottenham Hotspur winger and Kick It Out trustee Garth Crooks told CNN.
