For the same reason that the Athletic can post the Rice clip and half the comments insist that "he just shouldn't have touched the ball" while someone takes a quick free kick right next to their goal for the express purpose of trying to get Rice sent off.

People are morons and they'd rather score a point against Arsenal fans than admit that referees are being given more and more power with every shit decision they make that goes unpunished. They don't care until it's their team's turn to get fucked by it.
