"The fans have spoken, the bastards!"
[Zero Hedge] - Soccer Club Demands Fans Who Booed BLM Undergo Re-Education Courses Before Being Allowed Back

Cambridge United football club is demanding fans who booed players taking a knee for Black Lives Matter undergo re-education lessons or face a stadium ban.

Yes, really.

After a handful of fans voiced their displeasure before a December 15 game against Colchester, the club reacted by launching an investigation.

"Each case has been looked at separately," the club said in a statement. "Conclusions reached range from education and support without any ban through to bans to the end of the season with season tickets refunded."

"Diversity and inclusion will continue to be at the heart of what we stand for as a football club and we will be making no further comment about the incident."

According to the Daily Mail, "Other fans have been asked to undertake education around discrimination and equality" before they are allowed to return."
Quick club summary - Cambridge United is a scrub team in England's fourth and lowest professional division, called League Two. Their stadium hosts about 8,100 supporters and now they want to subject certain supporters to leftist re-education efforts. Enjoy the backlash, assholes.

Zero Hedge is writing for The Bee now?
I am not the club's target demographic, but I'd stay away on the grounds that one of the Rights of Englishmen is to boo whomever you want.

#2  I loved it (if not expected it) when Millwall supporters did that a few weeks ago.

One can only hope that fans/supporters speak with their feet and their pocketbooks. Enough is enough.

#1  Let's please remember that "the beautiful game" is the one whose fans toss plastic bags of urine and beat each other to a pulp before the game has even started. Oh, and rayciss...
