San Diego FC has taken a firm stance against homophobic chanting that occurred during their inaugural home game against St Louis City at Snapdragon Stadium. The club expressed that the chant, repeated multiple times in front of over 34,000 fans, is unacceptable and does not reflect their values. The team plans to implement a detailed action plan against such behaviors, emphasizing their commitment to fostering an inclusive environment and ensuring soccer is for everyone. This incident highlights the club's dedication to mutual respect amidst the widespread use of the chant in other leagues.
During our first-ever home match, we witnessed a chant that reflects none of our values as a club or a community. It must stop.
San Diego FC stands for respect and inclusivity; this offensive chanting does not align with our core beliefs and will not be tolerated.
