Norwich City FC criticised over 'slurs' in Pride film

An LGBTQ+ football supporters group has slammed a club's video supporting Pride month for featuring "homophobic abuse front and centre of content".

The Norwich City FC (NCFC) film showed derogatory graffiti on a wall with players later throwing paint over it.

Fan club Proud Canaries said viewers were subjected "a lexicon of slurs" and asked the club to delete the film.

NCFC said in a statement "it was proud of the club's ongoing work to support diversity, equality and inclusion".

The video, posted on social media, includes interviews with players standing next to the wall, with paint later being thrown at the graffiti to cover it up.
