West Ham fined £120,000 for homophobic chants at Chelsea

West Ham admitted homophobic chanting and were fined £120,000 after being found guilty of it during a game against Chelsea.

Following their 3 February premier league defeat at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, the Hammers were charged with misconduct in March.

A separate regulatory body later acknowledged the charge and determined that the club had violated its supporters’ rights.

The commission determined that the chanting constituted a criminal offense.

West Ham alleged that they “unwaveringly condemn” all forms of offensive behavior and have a zero tolerance policy against discrimination.
