I agree with what your saying, Just because a player crosses the white line it shouldn't make them exempt from the law. The trouble is though at the moment there seems to be 2 different sets of laws, One for fans and one for footballers on the field of play.
Is there any point in the law being the same for footballers if the punishment wont be, If CKR gets found guilty of homophobia towards Albion fans he's not going to get a 3 year match ban like the 2 Derby fans did is he.
