The answer to that is the same as the answer to "why were jews and catholics banned from Norway until 1860(-ish)?"By providing British answers to those questions and using those answers to provide examples of why some groups have less public acceptance than others.
I'm not saying those groups ARE worse, just positing a reason why some groups have such a tough time being loved by tabloid Britain (and by extension: tabloid reading Britain).
The answer is that people are idiots.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
