A video of PSV fans singing about Jews in Manchester highlighted to foreign fans a dark but intensely debated aspect of football culture in Netherlands.
“If you don't jump you're a Jew!” The chants rang out in the middle of Manchester from a large group of PSV fans ahead of their Champions League tie at Old Trafford two weeks ago.
Passing locals may have found the song, sung in Dutch, an endearing display of support prior to PSV’s draw against Manchester United. But that feeling will have dissipated upon discovering the real message. For many Dutch fans, though, it’s a completely normal sight.
