Bosses can reject applicants who support rival football team to existing staff, judge says

Employers are entitled to base recruitment decisions on whether a prospective colleague might damage office harmony by not supporting the same team, the employment judge Daniel Wright said. He ruled that a boss would not be breaking employment law, for example, if they rejected a job application from an avid Tottenham Hotspur supporter because the office was full of Arsenal fans. The comments came in the case of a woman who took legal action after she lost out on a job with a marketing agency because she didn't vibe with her interviewer.

That's a pretty big red flag.
