Soccer Association Attorney Nir Reshef sent a letter this morning to League Chairman Erez Haplapon and Chairman Oren Hasson, stating that from now on, homophobic calls from fans will also bring prosecution of the teams. Received the letter that comes in light of the homophobic calls of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans against Maccabi Netanya goalkeeper Danny Amos in a match between the teams (yesterday).

"In recent cycles, repugnant phenomena of fan audience calls for sexual preference have been repeated," Adv. Reshef wrote, adding: "In the last two cases, calls have been made to Maccabi Netanya goalkeeper Danny Amos, who has been brave enough to speak on the subject, even if he made it clear Undoubtedly, he is straightforward about everything but clearly declares support for the community and anyone's right to any preference. "

Here, Adv. Reshef gets to the root of the matter, conveying the message that from now on it will change the association's policy on the subject: "Calls against sexual preference constitute a disciplinary offense for all intents and purposes," misconduct of a fan audience. " Here, Reshef inserted the indictment and from now on judges and observers will cite this kind of readings in a report to be passed on to him.

"I do not practice prosecution at a preliminary event without warning / guidance," Reshef continued, "but it is clear that from now on, a group whose audience will be expressed in this way will be prosecuted for all this." In effect, the teams are committed to delivering a message to their fans on the issue and refining the issue, as from now on any homophobic call will bring the clubs to visit the tribunal, which is also packed every Wednesday.
