Media Story

Ashley Cole Fined For Twitter Outburst

 Footballer Ashley Cole has been hit with a £90,000 fine for his foul-mouthed twitter outburst    

 towards the FA after hearing about the written reasons by the governing body for John Terry's     
 racism ban he tweeted “Hahahahaa, well don #fa I lied did I. #BUNCHOFT**TS.”
  Cole apologised soon after but has still been fined  less than a week’s wages 
 after admitting a charge of bringing the game into disrepute.


Reading this news article i found myself to be in the middle, as i think that what Ashley Cole 

said was wrong especially expressing his foul-mouthed feelings like that on a major social 

networking platform where millions can see what he tweets, however i don't agree with the fine 

that he received. the story can be argued both ways, one way that he has the freedom of 

speech, therefore should be allowed to express his feelings, however there is a more     

appropriate way of doing that, as in the past has been fined for previous twitter outbursts
