As the creator of the petiton to make Tragedy Chanting and Death mocking at Football matches a criminal offence I am pleased to read this. It seems that both he and his parents are doing the right thing. But I also think we need to be mindful that this lad is a minor himself. Some of the comments on here calling for him to be physically assaulted are not acceptable. This is learnt behaviour, so maybe, instead of calling for him to be assaulted we see it as an opportunity to educate. I would encourage @CoventryCityFC to work with the @FA and the @premierleague to brush up on their promotion of the Passion not Poison campaign, to ensure that their fans know that this type of behaviour is not acceptable and that it goes against the ethos of their club, and to consider making a donation to the Bradley Lowery Foundation. Returning hate doesn't fix hate. Calling for a 14 year old to be beaten up wont correct his deeply offensive behaviour. We need to do better ourselves and model behaviour. Passion not Poison. I suspect this young chap will be banned from matches for a considerable length of time. Silly silly boy.
