I agree but i don't see how. Even if the FA grow up and stop making an official issue out of it, you still have the Twitter army hunting for anything and everything to turn into a cause. They are out there vilifying long dead people for things they did hundreds of years ago. 10 years ago might as well be yesterday to them.
This is the biggest issue for me.
It's elements of society that's gone OTT at the moment. Searching for
anything they can be offended by in the former tweets of 'famous' people; re-judging historical figures living in different times, with different laws and values, by 21st century laws and values, etc...
Once these old tweets are brought up by the public / the media then I don't see what else the FA can do tbh? Same as happened as soon as Ollie Robinson, the cricketer, made his England debut and so someone obviously trawled through his old tweets - or brought up the old tweet now he was more relevant and in the news and it would be a bigger story.
They're the people taking things a step too far. But once it's out there, and action demanded on the known individual, the authorities have to take some form of action. Personally, I think they got it about right with Bowen - the same as should have applied to Cavani by taking his lack of English and complete lack of intent into account - by just issuing a warning and saying he had to attend an educational course.
They got about the right level of punishment that both acknowledged the inappropriateness of the tweet, but also took into account the time past and the young age of the tweeter. So, of all things, I don't see the need to criticise the FA over these tweet issues - unless they suddenly ban Bola for some games, which would surprise me.
