Everton fan banned from Goodison for racially abusing Ric Wee on Twitter

[Azzurri]

Yes mate, he can if they don't want him on their property. It's known as owners discretion.

Ah right. Thanks.


What stops them from banning someone just because they don't like him?

Probably to do with having an 'Everton' in his twitter handle.

Any business in theory can refuse entry to someone they don't want to serve.

The fact is he could very easily have been arrested and gone to prison for what he tweeted - others have! He got off very lightly.

I'm citing a completely different case here, but what about the gay couple who were refused entry to a B+B and won?

Nothing mate. Just like me or you can refuse somebody entry to our home, if they don't have a court order (warrant.)

They still never got in though, did they? They just won a case saying they'd been discriminated against.

His punishment is the ban and fully deserved.

You want the police involved for some nasty words? Do me a favour. Think they may have more serious crimes to be investigating.

Spoiler: Swearing involved

Couldn't help myself x

You are correct. Dunno what I was trying to say to be honest....just sprang to mind.

 

[ToffeeTyler]

He definitely deserves the ban, I rather not be associated with the moron. Not that stuff like this isn't occuring daily by fans all over the world, but the fact that his twitter name involves EFC, it automatically makes it there problem and concern, he is now indirectly representing the club. If he had a generic twitter name I don't think this would have happened.

Utter turd of a man, glad he's been banned. Well played Everton.

 

[Khalekan]

Can the club legally ban him from Goodison for comments made on twitter not directed at the club?

I wouldn't have thought so.

Where I think they feel they are able to ban him is the fact he used the acronym "EFC" in his user name.

I thought it was a salient and interesting post, to be fair.

I'm nothing if not salient.

I'm glad he's banned because racism is wrong, as is abusing a fellow Evertonian for no reason.

Having said that, he does sort of make a point. Can he be banned from Asda now? B&Q? The leisure centre?

All those places can ban him, private property, lets hope they do

 

[HSD]

People are backing this guy up....I think it's the right thing to do - mainly for example because people need to realise that being abusive/racist via the internet isn't acceptable (Or at all). It can't be justified because 'it's just the internet' which many people appear to think.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

And now he's off phoning up the papers trying to get his 15 minutes of fame...
And to all the other plebs on Twitter who think that the club should choose the match going fan over some "foreigner", we don't want his match day money. We are the people's club and we'll do just fine without his vulgar presence.
