The FA has issued the following statement 

“The FA strongly condemns discrimination of any kind and has endeavoured to ensure that football in England is both diverse and inclusive in recent years.

Where any behaviours or gestures on the pitch that may constitute a breach of the laws of the game have to be assessed, they would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with a common-sense approach and understanding of their context.

The power of football can break down barriers across communities and we remain deeply committed to removing all forms of discrimination from across the game we all love.”
