Rather than immediately ban anti-Semitic fans from its games or give them a gruesome lecture about Jewish genocide, the club’s Jewish owner, Roman Abramovich, would like to send Chelsea’s anti-Semites into the heart of the horror itself: into Auschwitz. Chelsea soccer club owner Roman Abramovich would like to send Chelsea’s anti-Semites into the heart of the horror itself: into Auschwitz. And yet, they are comfortable shouting anti-Semitic slurs in broad daylight, on live television, and terrorizing Jewish fans on public transportation. And I think the football club’s impulse to educate rather than immediately shun is a good one. But I think for the safety and enjoyment of Jewish soccer fans in England, Roman Abramovich ought to settle this the Old Testament way.
