Chelsea became first sports team to adopt IHRA antisemitism definition

Chelsea have become the first sports team in the world to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism, the club have announced. The Club chairman Bruce Buck said: "We believe that adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism is an important statement for our football club. "Although we have been working in accordance with these guidelines for many years now, we hope that by formalising the IHRA classification, we can further tackle antisemitism and discrimination through better understanding and education. "Football has an unrivalled ability to do good in society, and we must harness this power to tackle all forms of discrimination in the stands and our communities." Source- Sky Sports
