São Paulo seeks STJD deal over homophobic chants in derby | OneFootball

Corinthians is monitoring the progress of the case regarding the homophobic chants sung by São Paulo fans during the derby on July 19, at Morumbis, in the 15th round of the Brasileirão. The complaint was filed by the alvinegro club itself to the STJD, through a Notice of Infraction based on videos posted on social media, since the incident was not mentioned in the match report.

With the Corinthians complaint, São Paulo is now being charged under two articles. The first is Article 243-G of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which states: “to commit a discriminatory, disdainful, or outrageous act, related to prejudice based on ethnic origin, race, sex, color, age, condition of being elderly or disabled”.

The penalty provided includes a fine from R$ 100 to R$ 100,000 and, according to §2, “the fine provided for in this article may be applied to the sports entity whose fans commit the discriminatory acts described herein, and the identified fans will be prohibited from entering the respective sports venue for a minimum period of seven hundred and twenty days.”

The other provision is Article 135 of the General Competition Regulations (RGC), which says: “a discriminatory offense committed by club officials, representatives and professionals, athletes, coaches, members of the Technical Commission, fans, and refereeing teams in competitions organized and coordinated by the CBF is considered extremely serious, especially to insult someone, offending their dignity or decorum, on the grounds of race, color, ethnicity, national or social origin, sex, gender, disability, sexual orientation, language, religion, political opinion, wealth, birth, or any other form of discrimination that affronts human dignity.” This article also provides for a fine from R$ 100 to R$ 100,000.

Before the trial, São Paulo submitted a settlement proposal to the STJD for the case, suggesting the publication of an awareness post on social media—a strategy similar to the one recently adopted by Palmeiras in another case.

The trial session is scheduled for next Wednesday, and the case continues to be processed in the court after the Notice of Infraction was formally filed by Corinthians.
