'Think about taking up netball instead': Town mayor 'mocked teenager on Facebook' after he broke a leg in horror tackle during football match






A town mayor is facing charges of improper conduct after sending a mocking Facebook message to a teenager who had broken his leg during a football match - telling him to 'think about taking up netball instead'.
Striker Johnny Adair, 16, shattered his tibia in a horror tackle during a Sunday League match two weeks ago.
He was taken to hospital for an X-Ray, before being sent home to recover in a plaster cast.
However, the teen was shocked to wake up the next day to find Councillor Jason Ward - who had refereed the match - had sent him a Facebook message making fun of the horrific injury.
It read: 'Sorry to hear of your “broken” leg, probably happened during the 15th roll, not the challenge!
'It’s only a crack, not a real break. Football is a physical game played by men.
'Maybe think about netball or rounders in future. Get well soon.'
