Leeds United fans were singing a song celebrating their Israeli winger, Manor Solomon , during a 2 -0 victory away to Stoke on Boxing Day .
The chant itself is not obviously discriminatory it does not pick out an individual or minority group for ridicule or abuse.
Mainstream media and officialdom's real problem with the Solomon chant is that it flies in the face of acceptable, elite opinion.
By singing this song, Leeds fans are refusing to go along with mainstream, establishment anti-Israel sentiment.
