LaLiga has presented a formal complaint to the RFEF Competition Committee and the Anti-Violence Commission, following the insults that were recorded during the match between Athletic Club and Getafe in SanMamés last Sunday. In the weekly document, the federation lists ten episodes of abuse that occurred in the area of the Lower North Grandstand, between positions 105 and 110, where the Popular Entertainment Stand was located.
According to the report, four of the insults directed at VitoQuiles consisted of the expression “son of a bitch,” while another two were directed at IñigoCarvajal with the same adjective. The attackers were located in the same section as two banners with the inscriptions “Iñigo Cabacas” and “Herri Harmaila.” In addition, a collective chant was recorded that included phrases such as “Spanish, sons of bitches” and “whoever doesn't bounce is a fucking Nazi”, directed at the Zaragoza fans in the 59th minute of the match.
The document also mentions a broader chant that was addressed to the Zaragoza fans, with phrases such as "La Romareda, a fucking pigsty, where Ligallo and the Police meet. What a fucking smell, what filth, with a bomb everything would blow up, an explosion of Goma 2 and screw Aragón." The complaint seeks to take the corresponding disciplinary measures and strengthen the fight against hate speech and violence in Spanish football.
With the presentation of the complaint, the federation hopes that the RFEF and the Anti-Violence Commission will investigate the facts and apply the relevant sanctions to those responsible. Athletic Club and Getafe have indicated that the necessary measures will be taken to guarantee security and respect in their stadiums. The situation underlines the need to continue working on the prevention of violence and hate speech within sport.
