Swansea City would like to remind supporters that it has a zero-tolerance approach to any and all forms of discrimination.
There is no place for racism, discrimination or abusive language in football and the club is extremely disappointed to learn of an increase in incidents involving Swansea City supporters at recent matches against West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland.
The club can confirm that it is working with West Midlands Police with regards to an allegation of racial abuse directed at a home player which took place at The Hawthorns on October 1. The club is also working with South Wales Police regarding a similar incident which occurred in our home fixture against Sunderland.
Investigations are ongoing into both incidents, and anyone found guilty of using racist or abusive language will be dealt with in the strongest possible terms.
The club would also like to remind supporters that everyone at Swansea City fully supports and respects the decision of clubs and players who continue to take the knee ahead of games, and the club is disappointed to learn that a small minority of Swansea City supporters booed West Bromwich Albion players who took the knee in our recent fixture at The Hawthorns.
Taking the knee is an important statement of progress made and work yet to be done to remove racism from society and football, and while Swansea City players have chosen to focus instead on community action and educational programmes, everyone is firmly behind those clubs and players who continue to take the knee. We would request that supporters continue to show the same support to opposition teams who take the knee as was shown to our own players throughout the 2021-22 season.
The club would like to thank everyone who reported the aforementioned incidents. It is important that football clubs and supporters alike hold one another to account and challenge unacceptable, discriminatory and anti-social behaviour. The reporting of such incidents is an example of the collective effort the club, players and fans are making in order to ensure we achieve the goal of eradicating all discriminatory behaviour in football and society, and create a welcoming environment for all supporters.
Swansea City would also like to recognise and thank the huge majority of supporters who continue to impeccably represent our football club and community at both home and away matches. |  |

Got one of them, was lovely, I never leave the game for something to eat when the game is on, but felt even a crappy hot dog was better than what was being served up on the pitch |
Wise choice John 👌 |  | | |

So are we still pretending that Swans fans are racist and the narrative cannot be questioned even after people have realised it’s probably for the non racist act of disagreeing with a BLM display and the club are yet again taking the opportunity to appear virtuous?
Or are we still in the “I can’t answer so I’m going to pretend it doesn’t deserve a response” mode 🤷â€â™‚ï¸
Either is fine I guess. |  |

There’s no debate here. Club has said that there’s reports of racism in amongst our supporters and they condemn it in the stronger terms. It’s as simple as that |
Lies, lies and more lies. |  |

Night John. Maybe you can think of a valid response tomorrow then? 
I’d like to think lessons have been learned about jumping into the virtue pool without a lifejacket - however something tells me it is a mistake that will be continued to be made by yourself.
Quite a depressing age we live in where nobody appears to be able to think, the first reaction is “what’s the answer that will make me look the best”, zero thought goes into it at all other than that.
The second someone points out the obvious and the obvious then dawns on everyone, it’s time to run a mile. If someone is afraid of expanding or discussing their view then they really shouldn’t add things to the topic, certainly not add such definitive and final statements.
As I said, disappointing. | |

Some of the comments on here... what a shambles.
If they find the people accused of making racist remarks get them banned, done and dusted. Don't see why anyone has any issue with the club (which they clearly have to) reminding a certain group of morons that their racism/discrimination is not wanted. | |
