Brighton accused of 'dangerous precedent' after ban on Guardian over Tony Bloom coverage

I think this is getting way outta hand . Football clubs should be able to handle some scrutiny from the press without taking drastic measures like banning an entire outlet . It's basically saying that if you're gonna write something critical, you have to be willing to have a sit-down with them before publishing . Newsflash: journalists aren't gonna just swoop in and make stuff up, especially not on serious allegations like this one . And yeah, it's a concern that if clubs can pick and choose who gets to report on 'em, that's basically censorship . Can't have the press being cowed by some big-name owner... that's just not right

omg u wont believe what's going down at brighton & hove albion they banned the guardian from their matches due to some shady allegations about their billionaire owner tony bloom like what even is that tho? i mean, isnt press freedom supposed to be a thing in sports journalism too? this move feels super concerning and like, censorship at its finest not sure if the club thinks they can just dictate who gets to write about them and whats accurate or not... newsflash: thats not how it works

OMG, this is like soooo unfair!!! Brighton & Hove Albion think they can just kick The Guardian outta their games cuz they reported on some sketchy stuff about the owner? Like, what's next? They're basically saying that only good press gets in and bad press gets banned. That's not how it works, fam!

And I feel for the journalists who wanna do their job but are being threatened by a football club. It's like, they're trying to silence them cuz they don't want to be held accountable for whatever is shady about the owner? No way, dude! The press should be allowed to report on anything that's going down, even if it's not exactly what the club wants to hear.

I'm all about transparency and accountability in sports, especially when it comes to big money and shady dealings. If a football club thinks they can just hide stuff from the public, they're doing something wrong. So yeah, I gotta side with The Guardian on this one
