Shouldn't laugh but someone from a team called 'invincible eleven' is on that list.

I don't think it's that this is OTT I think it's a case of others being treated too leniently. If he verbally abused those people in the street in the same way as he wrote he would (should) go down and the fact that it was written makes no difference.

Really, you think the gaols have enough room for every vile person that makes a racist or sick joke?

Of course it's OTT. If we jailed every idiot who made nasty vile comments, and I say this as someone who experiences verbal abuse on a regular basis due to a wheelchair-bound wife, we would run out of prison spaces in 5 minutes flat. And is prison really the right option? I can't speak for Fabrice but I would imagine, as an educated guess, that given he's 23, had a heart attack and nearly died that what some prick said on a Twitter account comes quite low down on his list of priorities. Why waste prison space?

Regardless of the sentencing decision, the prick didn't think he'd done anything wrong. He will now.

Which makes me think perhaps it wasn't so OTT after all.

Jails may have or may not have room and it's down to the courts to sentence accordingly and whether Muamba wants him put away is irrelevant the crime was reported by others not Muamba. The comments were deemed to be inciting racial hatred and that carries a custodial sentence which as a grown man he needs to realise. He made different racist comments to a few people with time lag inbetween and attempted to pervert the course of justice by lying about his Twitter account being taken over. Pretty serious stuff. He did a crime which carries the possibility of a custodial sentence and that's what he got if you think that racial hatred should not carry a custodial sentence than that's a different matter but the Police and the courts simply carried through on the law.

Fair point, if he had actually taken some responsibility for what he said & apologised I'm sure he would have had a more lenient sentence. My other half was in court today, and some bloke who was found guilty swore at the judge as he left court. The judge asked for his to be brought back down later & added another 28 days onto his sentence. Based on that 56 days doesn't necessarily seem quite so harsh.
