Cheltenham Town Football Club is facing backlash after a racist post appeared on their social media account, prompting an investigation into the incident.
The post was quickly deleted, but not before fans noticed. Many followers were outraged, suggesting someone with access to the account shared it. The tweet was originally from another account before it appeared on the club’s official page.
The post referred to a serious incident involving a man charged with attempted murder. This man, Rumon Haque, was arrested after a nurse was stabbed at Royal Oldham Hospital. The club acted fast, taking down the post and issuing an apology.
In their statement, they said they were investigating the matter. They emphasized that the post didn’t come from an official source. They believe their account was hacked and have since tightened security.
However, fans were skeptical. Many expressed disbelief that it was a hack. One user suggested the person thought they were on their personal account. Others voiced their disappointment, stressing that racism has no place in football.
The club’s apology has been seen by over a million people since it was posted. It’s clear that this incident has sparked a lot of conversation among fans and the community.
