West Ham say they will ban for life anyone found guilty of homophobic abuse after two fans were arrested during Saturday’s match against Brighton.
The Metropolitan Police said there were three arrests in total at the London Stadium, two for homophobic incidents and one for assault on an away supporter.
A Hammers spokesperson said: “West Ham United is disgusted to hear of alleged homophobic incidents at the game against Brighton & Hove Albion.
“The matter is now with the police but anyone found guilty of acting in a discriminatory manner will be banned for life from London Stadium and from travelling with the club.
“The club is unequivocal in its stance – we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination.
“Equality and diversity is at the heart of the football club and we are committed to continue ensuring that everyone who enters London Stadium is free to enjoy watching their team play football in an inclusive environment.”
So far 20,000 WHU fans have come forward to say it was them …..
I would have thought a much tougher deterrent would be to have to watch West Ham for a lifetime rather than a lifetime ban.
Here’s hoping 😁 double the RENT when they go down. Sink’em😊
It is about time this country (like America) issues the first amendment. Freedom of speech.. Its a major problem now over here one isn’t allowed to think or have an opinion, and say what one thinks whether its gays, transgenders, terrorists, muslims, nazis, in england we can simply state an opinion or fact and we risk arrest for hate speech and many other forms of discrimination. We are the true PC snowflake nation… I am a christian, yet am forced to keep my opinions about homos to myself. I am forced to agree with everyone its the norm, when its really unnatural. No hate from me, but i don’t agree with them. If everyone was gay the human race would cease to exist.
