São Paulo seek deal with STJD over homophobic chants against Corinthians | OneFootball

On the eve of another classic between São Paulo and Corinthians, the Majestoso from the first round of the Campeonato Brasileiro has become a topic of discussion again. After the match, Tricolor was reported to the STJD for homophobic chants against Alvinegro, which were recorded on video. The trial will take place next Wednesday. However, the club is still seeking an agreement to avoid sanctions.

São Paulo is trying to follow Palmeiras’ example in a similar case involving Vitor Roque. The forward posted a homophobic message on his social media after a victory precisely against São Paulo.

Verdão avoided harsher sanctions with an agreement in which the player would publish an awareness post against discriminatory actions, a strategy São Paulo intends to repeat, according to ge. Despite the post, Vitor Roque was still punished and had to pay a fine, something Tricolor wants to avoid.

Possible sanctions

The chants place São Paulo under articles 243-G of the CBJD (committing a discriminatory act related to prejudice) and 135 of the RGC (discriminatory offense committed by fans in competitions organized by the CBF).

The articles provide for a fine to the club ranging from R$ 100 to R$ 100,000, in addition to punishing identified fans with at least 720 days banned from entering the respective stadium.
