Roger Wade, former CEO of Boxfresh, was banned from attending Brighton & Hove Albion matches after wearing a Palestine #football top.

Wade, who’s held a season ticket for nearly a decade, explained that he was escorted out of the stadium without explanation. The club later issued a ban letter.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT #TERRORISM.

It it about wiping off #Palestine off the map of the earth.

    As someone who lived in Brighton for 5 years, it’s supposed to be one of the left leaning cities in the entire country.

    If any city/location shouldn’t do this it’s Brighton or Bristol, so this one really surprised me.

    Problem is the club is a private business worried about political pushback
