Again, and this goes for everyone posting "get over it" type posts, the complaint is NOT about fair and accurate reporting. If a whole bunch of people piss on a fence at an away game, then that can be reported. If there is one idiot who gets arrested for being unruly, then it's news and it;s fair game for the press.
What is NOT acceptable, and what people are complainign about, is to take an isolated incident or two and use them to paint a picture of 20,000 thugs who hurl abuse and projectiles at the police, opposing players and anyone else who gets in their way to the point where the general public in the GTA starts to worry about just what the hell is going on at BMO Field and is it safe to bring my kids there or even speak to people they know to be TFC supporters.
Put it this way - if you got caught up in a street fight by accident, threw a punch in self defence and ran away, how would you feel about seeing your picture on the front page of the Star with an arrticle describing you as a hooligan and a thug, not safe to be around and generally destroying your character and reputation, which was seen by your family, friends and colleagues and people in the street who didn;t even know you but believed it and recoiled on seeing you in public? Do you think thatw ould be fair reporting? Because it's not all that far off what is happening to TFC right now.
Report what happens, fine. Make a story out of it, fine. But don't blow it up into some armageddon type scenario and slander 20,000+ fans when in fact BMO Field is probably less of a venue for that kind of thing than the ACC and Rogers Centre. It's the degree of hyperbole that most people are upset about, not the fact that the few unsavoury incidents have been reported.
Having said that, you make a good point about not feeding the fires with posts of material the press would not otherwise have and can then use to enflame the situation.
