Complaint on inclusion of Harry Kane in Best London Beard 2020 poll dismissed
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that a social media complaint about the potential inclusion of footballer Harry Kane on the Best Beard of London poll which opens on Tuesday has been reviewed and dismissed by the BLF regulatory team.
The vote is part of the London Beard Week which begins on 4th August and is set to mark the continued growth of beards in the Capital.
The complaint, believed to be from a well known Arsenal fan, argued that a Spurs player should not appear on the poll.
The BLF say that the complaint was unfounded because Kane’s appearance on the poll would be because he is the London based England football captain and not because he is a Spurs player.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the complainant would have had a good point if Kane was to be included because of his club affiliation. Why not on that basis include an Arsenal or a Chelsea player for example? However the regulatory team found that this was a misunderstanding of why Kane might appear on the poll.
The Best Beard of London shortlist will be published on Tuesday 4th August and the on-line poll will open at midday
