As per reports, five Chelsea football fans cannot attend football matches for the next five years. All this is because of an incident in Paris sometime in February involving racism. The Chelsea FC club has seen many fan moments, but this one was one of the darkest.
The Main Enforcers Of The Incident- Chelsea Football Fans
The incident involved a black Frenchman continuously heaved off from a metro carriage ahead of the Championship League match between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. The men involved were five Chelsea football fans Josh Parsons, William Simpson, Jordan Munday, and former London police officer Richard Barklie.
The five fans verbally abused the black commuter Souleymane Sylla and pushed him, according to the news. Fellow commuters noticed this act of racism, and somehow the issue reached higher authorities of both fan groups and social activists.

The Charges Which Were Applied:
Regarding the incident, the Stratford magistrate court district judge, Gareth Branston, commented that it was highly uncivilized and unacceptable behavior. He also said that the former police officer and Josh Parson, the former finance worker, were the primary enforcers of this racist abuse.
Barkley denied the allegations saying that there was no pushing involved and blamed the Frenchman for boarding a jam-packed train. Jordan Munday, the fourth convict, received three years ban, whereas Dean Callis, the fifth convict, was banned from his role as a fan for five years.
All these incidents were captured on a British expatriate phone and have received universal criticism forcing Chelsea to ban all those five enthusiasts from Stanford Bridge. The world will not ignore and tolerate the racist behavior of the five Chelsea football fans.
