Corriere dello Sport in this morning's print edition spoke about the racist insults directed towards AC Milan's goalkeeper Mike Maignan during the match against Udinese.
According to Article 28 of the sports justice code, clubs are considered responsible for chants that express discrimination "based on the size and real perception of the phenomenon." Therefore, "booing" can be penalised with a fine but not punishable by playing matches in a closed stadium if only a few dozen people are singing them; and in Udine, on Saturday night, the majority of those present did not hear them.
The public order official, the event manager delegate, and even the accompanying officials of the two teams, in addition to the members of the refereeing team, did not hear them. Maignan obviously heard them, and along with him, one of the two prosecutors' inspectors who was between the Udinese bench and the stands. Maignan mentioned about 10 people singing the chants. 1% of the stadium, a percentage quantified by the FIGC inspector. Too few to consider closing the stands.
