Ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is a terrible decision – and a depressing one | Barney Ronay

The article discusses the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a football match at Villa Park. The author, Barney Ronay, argues that this decision is a "terrible" and "depressing" one, as it fails to address the underlying issues and instead further divides the fans. The article highlights the statement by Birmingham MP Ayoub Khan, who emphasizes that sports events should be enjoyed by all, regardless of their background. Ronay suggests that the decision to ban the Israeli club's supporters is unlikely to "de-escalate a volatile situation" and instead calls for a focus on "easing tensions" and "setting aside political differences" to enjoy the football match.
