West Ham United has urged fans to stop chanting what the club characterizes as an "anti-Palestine message," Al Jazeera English reported. The Premier League club, which was relegated last season, made the appeal as part of efforts to address offensive conduct at matches and maintain standards of behavior among its supporter base.
The football club did not specify details of the particular chant or the specific incidents that prompted the statement. West Ham's intervention comes during a transitional period for the team following its demotion from the top division of English football. The club's move reflects growing attention to discriminatory behavior in stadiums across professional sports.
