How Beitar Jerusalem's football club owner took on racism and won


Ending discrimination in football requires directly addressing some of the negative aspects of fan behavior. In Israel, the owner of the Beitar Jerusalem football club has threatened to take legal action against the La Familiar fan club, claiming damages to Beitar’s brand. In addition to the threat of lawsuits, the team promotes a youth club, known as the Team of Equals, which encourages connections between young Jewish and Muslim football fans.
