West Ham Condemns Offensive Chant Targeting Manor Solomon
West Ham United has requested that fans avoid singing an offensive chant that emerged during their recent match against Burnley, which implied that Israeli winger Manor Solomon 'hates Palestine'.
The club's statement highlighted the chant's divisive nature and emphasized their commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. Solomon, who joined West Ham from Tottenham, has previously faced controversy due to his pro-Israel social media posts.
As West Ham prepares for their upcoming match against Charlton, which is sold out, they reiterated the importance of fostering a supportive and respectful atmosphere among fans. This is not the first instance of the chant causing issues, as it was previously addressed during Solomon's loan at Leeds.
