Antisemitism on the field: The English soccer team inciting Israel hatred

Third-division English soccer club Forest Green Rovers is far from impressive on the field, and in the stands, Vince, the team's owner, understands that athletic competence alone won't spark media interest in his unheralded squad. So how can he attract some attention, and better yet for free? Vince's method is simple: He has turned his club into the leading voice for the anti-Israel boycott movement.

Vince, the owner and founder of the British energy company Ecotricity, which specializes in wind and solar energy products, purchased Rovers in 2010 and immediately went about hitching the club to his anti-Israel agenda. The team's games serve as a platform for extremist ideas that paint the Jewish state as evil and the root of all problems. As for Jewish soccer fans, it is best they do not attend these matches, especially if they're wearing anything identifying them as such.
