What the petition asks
I want the government to legislate to eradicate the vile, triggering act of mocking death on the football terraces of Britain. I wish for the government to make 'Tragedy Chanting' a specific criminal offence
The act of tragedy chanting is disgusting to hear, and vile to witness.
It can be triggering for any football fan going to the game, who is, or has been affected by a football disaster.
This is not just for A club, this is for ALL clubs, supporters, anyone affected by this vile practise. It is my sole aim, to make it an illegal act, but also to teach the younger fans about truths, and getting rid of this act early on.
