West Ham fined for homophobic chanting during Chelsea game

London: West Ham United has been handed a fine of 120,000 pounds ($161,700) for homophobic chanting by its fans during its 2-1 Premier League loss at Chelsea on February 3, the Football Association said on Friday.

An independent Regulatory Commission has also imposed an action plan on West Ham, the FA said.

“It was alleged that the club failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters) did not behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent or insulting way with either an express or implied reference to sexual orientation,” the FA said in a statement.
