Adrian Durham reacts as West Ham promise action against fan chants in Belgium
West Ham United have promised to take action against fans caught singing anti-semitic chants on a plane to Belgium this week.
The Irons drew 2-2 against Genk in the Europa League last night, but that was overshadowed by things off the pitch.
Adrian Durham has insisted that those fans need to learn, and tipped them to made to pay for educational trips to learn in the future.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, Durham insisted that it has to go further than bans to the football.
“Good to see West Ham promising action & indefinite bans for fans who sang anti-semitic songs at a Jewish man on a plane,” he wrote.
“Make them pay for a trip to Auschwitz Museum on top of any punishment. Education needed. Took my kids 3 years ago. I also went to Dachau in ’06. Visit & learn.”
Banned.
This has nothing to do with the football, and those suggesting that it is a chant related to Spurs are only making things worse.
An innocent man walking through a plane has nothing to do with West Ham, Spurs or even football but yet that didn’t stop the awful chanting.
The video is clear enough, and now bans have been promised, it is likely that action will happen quickly as the week progresses.
Having them educated also feels like a good idea, but it isn’t something that can be forced upon those found guilty.
Those found guilty of things such as this in the modern-day aren’t usually open to learning though, and that is the first thing that needs to change.
