Chelsea club is desperately fighting to save its face fresh incidences of racism surfaced on Thursday.
The gifted club and its supporters are now being stigmatised because of a bunch of narrow minded individuals who are behaving terribly.
The club was forced to condemn its fans after they were heard singing anti-Semitic chants in Hungary, a few days after four fans were suspended for the alleged racial abuse of Raheem Sterling.
In their immediate match after last Saturday’s Premier League victory over Manchester United, away supporters were heard singing a derogatory chant about London rivals Tottenham, who are known to have a significant Jewish following.
The talented football club who had already qualified for the last 32, are facing another stain of racism allegations, so soon after the uproar that tarnished their last football victory. A white Chelsea fan from London who didn’t wish to be named told The Eye Of Media.Com:
”Its terrible that this kind of racism goes on. Chelsea fans make anti-semetic chants in every game just to annoy Tottenham fans. They derogatory song goes: ”who is that team they call the Chelsea…. Tottenham is a bunch of yids.. It is awful that these fans do this, they do it in every game, it is shameful! Me and my mates never join them. Yid is a derogatory epithet used by antisemites as a substitute for the English word Jew. Guilty individuals should be caught and prosecuted. It is a serious weakness on the authorities that this sort of behaviour has been allowed to go unpunished for so long.
Chelsea football and the Football Association need to take drastic action to stamp out this kind of evil racism in their midst.
The top Premier League club released a strong statement stating: “Anti-Semitism and any other kind of race-related or religious hatred is abhorrent to this club and the overwhelming majority of our fans.
“It has no place at Chelsea or in any of our communities. We have stated this loud and clear on many occasions from the owner, the board, coaches and players.
“Any individual that can’t summon the brainpower to comprehend this simple message and are found to have shamed the club by using anti-Semitic or racist words or actions will face the strongest possible action from the club.
Uefa said that it would wait to receive official reports before launching an investigation.
“As is standard procedure, we will be waiting for official reports from the game before deciding if any action/investigation into any alleged misbehaviour should be launched.”
