Boos heard during Ramadan pause during Manchester City match at Leeds
Play was briefly stopped so Muslim players could break their fast
Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out have condemned some fans who booed while Muslim players broke their Ramadan fast in Leeds' 1-nil defeat to Manchester City.
The Premier League game was stopped in a pre-agreed move in the 12th minute.
City manager Pep Guardiola called the response "unfortunate", while Leeds assistant Edmund Riemer ((pron: ree-mer)) says he was "disappointed".
The charity said;
"It’s massively disappointing that some Leeds United fans booed when Manchester City’s players broke their fast during the first half of the match at Elland Road this evening. This was compounded by the fact that an explanation was displayed on a big screen inside the stadium.
"Pausing the game to allow Muslim players to break their fast during Ramadan has been an agreed protocol for several years now. It’s an important and visible part of making the game welcoming for Muslim players and communities.
"But as tonight’s reaction shows, football still has a long way to go in terms of education and acceptance."
