Sports letter: Hartson at fault
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: So Ian Wright believes it is disgraceful that John Hartson should be disciplined and face an FA misconduct charge. Surely a case for a one-to-one reality check?
Most supporters are sickened by the tarnished image certain players are giving the game and if Hartson's thuggery does not warrant an assault charge then I really don't know what does.
Isn't kicking a fellow professional or anyone else come to that, somehow or other, his fault? Or is our grip on reality now so slippery that pampered footballers are now a law unto themselves? In my view thugs like Hartson should now be facing a custodial sentence and nothing less, Mr Wright.
