Newcastle asks its fans not to wear Arabic-style clothing to matches

Newcastle has asked its supporters to refrain from wearing the fake headbands and clothing worn in Saudi Arabia. Indeed, some fans wore such robes or headgear to Sunday’s game against Tottenham.

‘ ‘Newcastle United kindly asks its fans not to wear traditional Arabic clothing to the match unless they normally wear such clothing.”

The club’s owner is not offended, but thinks the fans’ behaviour is stereotypical and culturally offensive.

”None of the club’s new owners were offended. It was a gesture they recognised as positive. However, this way of dressing can be culturally inappropriate and risks offending others. However, all fans of the club are encouraged to wear what is normal for their culture or religion,” the English outfit explained on the club’s official website.

Newcastle United sacked coach Steve Bruce on Wednesday. In a statement announcing the termination of the coach’s contract, Newcastle officials also talked about the new style of dress of some of their fans.

Everyone has the right to wear what they want and what they like. If some fans thought that they were supporting the new owners who bought Newcastle United, they had the right to dress that way.

But the club is right in that even if it didn’t offend the new owners, it could have offended anyone else. Newcastle United is a club that is known all over the world, so it could have offended anyone else in any other part of the world.

We will find out how fans react to the club’s statement on Saturday 23 October. Newcastle will head to London to take on Crystal Palace.
