Celtic FC supporters are calling on the Scottish football club to stop a reported £2 million ($2.68m) transfer deal for Israeli club Maccabi Netanya striker Jocelin Ta Bi.

Fans and activists say the club should not conduct any financial transactions with a firm based in Israel amid its ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, as millions of football fans around the world rally in support of a sports boycott of Israel.

"This is not just an ordinary football transfer deal. Israeli clubs are not neutral sporting bodies," the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) said in a post.

"Celtic Football Club should refuse to do business with a team representing apartheid Israel - a regime committing genocide in Gaza, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, including 800+ sportspeople, and systematically damaging or destroying all sporting infrastructure," PACBI added.

Thriller of a game

Jurgen Klopp's final game as manager of Liverpool.

So far the highlights is that Lebron James and Kim Kim K. showed up to the game. When it comes to player introductions they gave Messi credit for his world Cup and simply said Sergio is good with no mention of their treble run or UCL histories together.

Really is annoying how much of this debut show has so far been about the "marketability" of the MLS now that he's arrived.

Here is a great schedule graphic for the Women's World Cup! Are you staying up really late or waking up really early?

Have been seeing plenty of old news articles popping up here. Is this someone from Reddit trying to undermine Lemmy as a source for up-to-date football news?
