To give a topical example, take a football fan who shouts “Are you blind?” at a referee who has just failed to penalise a goalkeeper for handling the ball outside his 12-yard box. If the club employs a partially sighted steward, he or any of his colleagues could take the club to the employment tribunal for not taking all reasonable steps to protect him from having to overhear that remark. To limit its liability, the club will have to ban banter such as this. If Sir Keir Starmer has his way, every stadium in the country will become a library, not just his beloved Arsenal.
