Club Brugge free of charge for anti-Jewish chants

OTHER During the RSC Anderlecht - Club Brugge match on April 4, Club Brugge supporters sang anti-Jewish hymns. Something the Football Union did not want to accept and Wagner demanded a heavy fine. The Higher Appeal Disputes Committee set Club Brugge free of charge.


The match delegate had included the songs in his report, "Anyone who doesn't jump is a Jew" and "All Jews are gay" was sang in the Astridpark. The Pro League recently tightened the rules about racism and hymns. A heavy fine was therefore asked.

But the Higher Occupational Disputes Committee of the KBVB thought differently: "The hymns are neutral and do not affect anyone. Only terms that mention a sexual orientation and / or a certain population group are used. The word" Jew "has no humiliating or discriminating meaning , the same for the word "gay" ", it says in their verdict.
