Antisemitic tweets aimed at Spurs fans reported to police

“Hitler smiling in his grave as Spurs bottle the title,” wrote another, while one said he “might be the only Chelsea fan that wasn't obsessed with Spurs before the game but after that fuck the jews” [sic].

Other Twitter users posting after the match called Jews “smelly,” “dirty” and “gimpy”.

Football anti-discrimination group Kick It Out, working with Maccabi GB and the Community Security Trust, has reported the tweets to the Metropolitan Police.

Lord Herman Ouseley, chair of Kick It Out, condemned the posts as “completely unacceptable in football and across society,” and said they “must be challenged by the regulatory authorities.”

He also encouraged fans to “report discrimination in football anonymously via kickitout.org, telephone, or through the organisation’s app”.

The racist tweets were posted despite a pre-match warning from Chelsea telling fans not to engage in discriminatory behaviour.
