West Ham have condemned social media footage of their supporters singing an anti-Semitic song towards a Jewish man on a plane and vowed to issue those involved with bans from the club.
A video circulating on social media appears to show some Hammers supporters on a flight to Belgium singing the offensive song as the man walks down the aisle to take his seat.
“We continue to be unequivocal in our stance – we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination. Any individuals identified will be issued with an indefinite ban from the club. Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the football club and we do not welcome any individuals who do not share those values.”
ClaretandHugh says: Disgraceful! At a time when things are going to brilliantly for the club we are let down and disgraced by one of two bigoted individuals. Absolutely and totally unacceptable and we sincerely hope that those responsible get their ban along with any others who show any form of racism anywhere at anytime. We don’t need them or want them at our football club however passionate they may be about football and West Ham.
