This story is weird on too many levels.

They sound like a bunch of childish bullies.

And it starts with the British confusion as to what football is. We call it soccer.

Its FOOTBALL , the largest religion in the U.K, soccer was occasionally played in exclusive posh schools for boys, it was in fact FOOTBALL, but they are too posh to call it that, and perversely call their exclusive very high fee paying schools Public Schools, just to confuse you yanks even further.

several of the comments are negative towards JW's and not surprisingly!
Bullies thrive in an environment where there are people to pick on who won't fight back - I certainly knew a few JW bullies - not many but a few bad ones. JW's are also terrible homophobes so would be happy to align these views with any footie fans.
real shame someone had to go through this. but i guess this is a worldly person's response to being treated so badly - get compensation and justice through the courts. Can't see any JW's doing that - they'd just speak to an elder and be told not to go through the courts.
I hope the guy finds a job in a decent company - must have been hell for him.

Football is football. We invented it so stop calling it soccer. If you want to be pedantic then you can call it Association Football.
But. Not. Soccer.

It sounds like Wernham Hogg JW style.

Workplace bullying is, sadly, real enough in all too many places . It might be the Company wanting to force a worker out, or workmates being horrible. This does not say much for the North East, does it? Any Geordies like to comment? I am sure that it is not all like that.
The J W connection is weird. The use of the word "pagan" to describe other beliefs does sound all too familiar. I still find it hard to square the profanity with a J W manager, but..who knows these days? This was printed in July, I wonder if his elders investigated him?
