Recently a media publication asked the club: “What would your team do if one of your players tried to walk off after receiving racist abuse?”
For the avoidance of any doubt – in this hypothetical situation, this is our stance:
Firstly, we sincerely hope that such an incident would never happen at Selhurst Park or any ground that we play at. We are proud of our south London roots, in our richly diverse community. We are a club that is proudly open to all.
In the event of one of our players choosing to walk off the pitch after receiving racist abuse, the club and team would wholeheartedly support any player who felt so strongly compelled to take that action.
