Germany: "Free Palestine", "Fucking Jews" shouted at TUS Makkabi players

Note that "Free Palestine" is used as a curse against Jews.  There's a reason for that.

(Thanks Daniel)

Via Report-K:

Some players of the ESV Olympia Köln football club shouted  „Free Palestine“ and “Fucking (literal Shit) Jews” at the TUS Makkabi players. This led almost to a brawl and only through the actions of the referee and the spectators could a fight be prevented

TUS Makkabi has players from Jewish, Muslim and other backgrounds.

The statement of ESV Olympia Köln

• The fact that we play against Makkabi shows we are open and tolerant and first and foremost interested in playing soccer also in its function as uniting peoples in peace

• We’ll thoroughly investigate alleged racist behavior of players and spectators

• We retain a law office to get damages from people may have damaged our good name and credit worthinesss (reputation)

• We’ll issue a statement about the alleged events as soon as our investigations are complete
