Jaroslav Tvrdík supported Sparta’s position, a battle broke out under his post

The boss of Prague’s Slavia took to Twitter to support Sparta’s position! The latter appealed in a statement to stop insulting their children. That has been unpicked by Rangers FC fans who resent every defeat and every booing of their players.

Sparta said in their statement that they thanked their opponents for the sporting contest. Furthermore, the Leiden side confided that they did their best to protect Rangers FC and contributed significantly. However, the attacks on the children’s supporters from lawyer Glen Kamara and also the Scottish champion’s fans could not go over!

“It is absolutely unbelievable that after a match we have to watch innocent children being attacked and face unfounded accusations of racism. Insulting children in the online space and in the media is unacceptable, desperate and ridiculous.

Stop attacking our children! Our club will proudly defend our children, our future and our pride. Slandering children in the online space is extremely cowardly.

We are seeing unprecedented xenophobic statements against the Czech Republic, its citizens and even its children in the social media space. You are describing the behaviour of children incorrectly, arrogating to yourself the right to judge the expression of emotions of six-year-old children who have no idea what racism is. It is insolence.”

The club went on to thank all of the children’s supporters and the adults who watched and supervised the children at the stadium. The statement concluded

Support for Jaroslav Tvrdík

The boss of Sparta’s old rival immediately responded to this statement. “We fully support Sparta Prague’s statement and fully agree with its content.”

Tvrdík wrote on his Twitter account. His tweet garnered over 2,500 likes and countless comments within a few hours.

But the debate is in the spirit of battle! Rangers FC fans are attacking both the chairman of Prague Slavia and in some cases Prague and Czech fans.

But the fans of the Prague “S” are not to be intimidated and are fighting back! They are reminding the Scottish club of their dark history and pointing out even a chant with a strongly racist past. Rangers fans, by the way, still have it in their repertoire. It is worth reading the sharp discussion under Jaroslav Tvrdík’s post.
