NEW: Hull City are getting tough on homophobic chanting, banning 3 fans for 3 years each, and sending out a clear warning ahead of Saturday’s game at Chelsea.
A look at the media coverage shows a markedly mixed picture. How newsworthy is a story about discrimination these days?

Hector Bellerin was targeted with gay slurs by a YouTuber and so-called journalist, in a livestream on Friday.
The YouTuber posted something close to a non-apology video, before Borja Iglesias called out the homophobia.
