Thank you for your always passionate support.
Once again, we ask for your cooperation in eliminating discrimination, provocation, and nuisance behavior at the stadium.
In accordance with the J-League's unified prohibitions, which state that "making discriminatory or insulting remarks or actions regarding race, skin color, gender, language, religion, politics, or origin," FC Tokyo has been working to eliminate discrimination, provocation, and nuisance behaviors since September 2014 by promoting the message 'FAIR SUPPORT FOR ALL BY ALL.'
I believe there are various interpretations of what statements or actions may be considered insulting and discriminatory. However, what is important is not the mindset of the person who committed the act, but how the recipient felt about it. Our club absolutely does not tolerate such insulting or discriminatory (as perceived) statements or actions.
We kindly ask all fans and supporters to understand the above considerations and continue to provide us with your passionate support. Additionally, if you happen to witness such behavior inside or outside the stadium, please do not hesitate to provide information to our club.
