Manchester United’s Rainbow Devils group urge fans not to make homophobic chants in PL matches

Manchester United‘s LGBTQ supporter base has taken a stand to prevent any form of homophobic chants. The LGBTQ supporters urge fans not to make any abusive comments towards any race, creed, or gender. 

Manchester United faced then Frank Lampard-led Everton in the FA Cup. The Reds supporters were seen making abusive homophobic comments and chants while the Ten Hag side secured a 3-1 victory. Frank Lampard who is now the caretaker manager of Chelsea was subjected to abuse and homophobic chants during the match. 

The LGBTQ supporters have urged not to make any such comment while Manchester United locks horns with Chelsea. The pride community has also urged the ticket holders to warn about penalties and consequences one may face if he resorts to ‘offensive language’. The community has also asked the club to take ‘all necessary actions’ against individuals. 

The activities of racism and homophobia have increased in the last few years during the matches. The recent incident of Vinicius Jr. becoming a victim of racism is not unknown. In fact, FA imposed sanctions on the Wolves ‘for homophobic chants’ while they locked horns with Chelsea. The chants of homophobia and racism are not mere ‘harmless banter’ but are ‘hate crimes’. It has to be seen how the request of LGBTQ supporters gets executed while Ten Hag side faces Frank Lampard’s Chelsea.

They want to make Harry Kane move early so as to get time for other transfers in the upcoming transfer window.
