I don’t see the relationship to be honest. One is professionals telling lies, relevant to their field, that can cause harm to people. The other is you, personally, telling wildly obvious lies about a soccer team. Free speech barely enters into it. Jokes are all well and good in most places but go tell a bomb joke in an airport and it’ll likely be the most expensive joke you tell. Doesn’t mean people are being arrested in the street for making similar jokes. Context is the key factor in this.
