There is a piece on the board by Cheryl Critchley who is described in the story as a left-leaning feminist. In it she recalls how things were at footy matches in the 70s and 80s with racism, abuse, drinking and how it has changed. The removal of foulmouthed abuse and racism of course is an improvement. But she seems to favour a total cleanup of football to the point where all atmosphere is out of the game. For instance she talked about a Port Adelaide supporter being removed for taunting the Richmond cheersquad at the final. If the comments made were unacceptable then I agree with this but she did not state they were. What about the taunts we took from the Hawthorn supporters(and a cow supporter) at the prelim? We just wore those and gave our own back.
There are too many people like this Cheryl Critchley who want football to be overly antiseptic. There are a few things to remember. Don't swear, they're may be children listening. Don't get into arguments that look like provoking fights. Don't use inappropriate language. Don't get drunk. But if we can't poke fun at the losing team while we celebrate our win we may as well be like the Russians or Koreans and watch players competing at chess or video games.
For example, when we were crossing the bridge at the elimination final there was a Richmond supporter with a Hannibal Lecter mask. I asked him what he was hiding under there and was shot a dirty look by a female who seemed to think I'd made some heavily insulting comment.

To sum up, there are places where football can be cleaned up, but some people want to take it too far.
