In matchday 4 of LaLiga Hypermotion in the Asturian derby between Sporting Gijón and Oviedo (3-1) a fan of the local team expressed racist insults to a player from the Oviedo team, Hassan, who last season was wore a red and white shirt. I would have called him “fucking monkey.”
That person has been identified by Sporting and the club will act accordingly.
”At the Club we strongly condemn any act of racism or discrimination, behaviors that do not represent the values or principles we uphold.
For this reason, after the viewer’s identification, the corresponding disciplinary procedure is immediately initiated in accordance with the Facility Access Regulations with the aim of clarifying the facts and clarifying the related responsibilities. This process will be carried out in accordance with the internal regulations of the Club, always acting in defense of respect, tolerance and peaceful coexistence in the field of sports.
From the Club we want to make it clear that there is no room for racist, xenophobic or discriminatory attitudes of any kind. So, we will take the necessary steps so that situations like this do not happen again and to guarantee that our fans behave with the utmost respect for all athletes, clubs and fans.”
