“We cannot have an economy with nine million people on welfare and a massive influx of immigrants. I mean, the UK was colonized. It costs too much. The UK was colonized by immigrants, wasn’t it? » This is what Manchester United boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe said recently. These inappropriate comments from the billionaire who finally took the floor to apologize in a press release published by INEOS, were not unanimous. Furthermore, the Premier League club has also sent a clear message, particularly to its supporters.
In a press release, the leaders were clear. “Our diverse team, made up of players, staff and supporters from around the world, reflects the history and heritage of Manchester, a city where everyone feels at home. We remain deeply committed to the principles and spirit of this campaign. They are reflected in our policies, but also in our culture, and are reinforced by our adherence to the Premier League’s advanced standard for equality, diversity and inclusion. Throughout this season, we have participated in events and initiatives at our men’s and women’s matches, covering mental health, LGBTQ+ inclusion, anti-racism, violence against women and girls and homophobic chants. We also celebrated our supporters club events, including our Disabled Supporters Association Christmas Party and our Jewish Supporters Club Hanukkah event. In the coming weeks and months, we will support other initiatives in these areas”they wrote.
