Are footballers being punished for breaching coronavirus regulations? I have seen a few stories about parties etc but nothing about internal club or FA discipline

I am, generally, not one for calling for people to be disciplined but given how influential footballers are particularly among younger people why is the @FA not taking a stronger line?

I would have thought people seeing on the front page of @TheSun etc that a player has breached rules and nothing or next to nothing then happening will have a strong cultural effect on younger people at the least.

I mean, there are enough poor students being fined £10,000 for having more than 30 people in their homes... what kind of an example is being set?

I'm told this is @premierleague not the FA's remit but the point stands.

And you are welcome to point out that I didn't make this point about Mason Greenwood (who plays for a team I support) - yes I am a bit of a hypocrite but also things are different behaviourally/threat-wise now than in the summer

Agree with @TonyCascarino62 on this
