Diversify

Earlier this year, commedian Katie Price was trying watching a football game in a London pub when she was the victim of antisemitism, aimed at her by her fellow team's fans. The incident and the way it was dealt with by management rightfully sparked outrage, and reignited an important discussion about antisemitism in modern Britain.

Katie spoke to Diversify's Kate and Holly about what happened that day, why people seem so content to brush off anti-Jewish behaviour , and what football needs to do next.
