Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Maccabi Netanya 2: 2 (Sport 1)

Maccabi Tel Aviv won tonight (Wednesday) in the court of the Football Association regarding the curses to Maccabi Netanya goalkeeper Danny Amos last Saturday.

As you may recall, the association's prosecutor prosecuted the team after some of the team's fans called Danny Amos "gay" during the game between the two teams.

The referee stated this in the report, but the court decided to acquit Maccabi Tel Aviv of the charge for two reasons.

The first reason for Dayan Noam Lubin's claim is that in 2021 calling someone "gay" is not an insult.

This is a year where there is no gender difference and the maximum is that whoever reads the reading should be ashamed and not whoever reads the reading.

Another argument of the Dayan is that the prosecutions should be kept on racist chants and not on gay chants and other curses as this is a slippery slope and will open the door for prosecuting groups for any curse.
