The English Premier League (EPL) has decided to take strict measures against the abuse and disturbance of players and clubs by spectators.
On the morning of the 22nd (Korean time), the British BBC media reported: “The 20 EPL clubs have unanimously decided to ban spectators who have committed antisocial and criminal acts from entering the stadium for at least one year.” The EPL stressed that all antisocial and criminal acts that take place in the stadium will be reported to the police.
Recently, in the UK, the number of spectators entering the ground, the use of rockets and smoke grenades, the throwing of objects, illegal entry into the stadium, violent events and racism during matches has increased rapidly in England. . Heung-Min Son (Tottenham Hotspur) also suffered from racism. There are also cases of threats to players and their families.
According to the BBC, Son’s teammate Eric Dier is reluctant to have his family come to the stadium. Because they fear that viewers will harm their families. Dyer also got into a fight with an onlooker who insulted his brother. “In the EPL, the number of spectators who go beyond the limits continues to grow,” Dyer said.
Last month, Son Heung-min became a target of racism. During the Tottenham-Chelsea match held in London on the 15th of last month, Son Heung-min was about to kick a corner when a spectator tore his eyes out to the side. This behavior is intended to mock Asians.
