Liverpool striker Nathan Eccleston, 20, is under investigation by the American-owned club after claiming on Twitter that the 9/11 attacks were not the work of terrorists. So what? Whether right or wrong, the lad is entitled to express his free speech. I say 9/11 WAS the work of terrorists.
Eccleston, who has played nine times for Liverpool, wrote: 'I aint going to say attack don't let the media make u believe that was terrorist that did it.'
Under investigation: Eccleston later removed the Tweet

An LFC spokesman said: 'The club takes this matter extremely seriously and senior club officials have informed Nathan Eccleston that we are undertaking an investigation into the circumstances surrounding these postings and will decide on an appropriate course of action.'
It certainly appears that Liverpool either, are attempting to censor free speech, or, have given the Daily Mail a placatory answer so they will basically fuck off. Sporting clubs routinely lie to journalists who seek to capitilise on anything for a story. There is also a sustained and heavy-handed application on sporting stars to toe some so-called political/moral line defined by the 'elites' within that society.
Certainly, in this case, the paucity of the story suggests that a mountain has been made out a molehill, and, that this is an effort to remind the readers of the political protocol they are expected to follow, lest they become branded with the apellation "in league with snowball". 
Memorial: Tributes were laid on in New York on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and Liverpool will now investigate Eccleston's comments

And a nice emotional photo to tug at the heartstrings.
