Shlomo Sharaf, the former coach of the Israeli national team, was suspended today (Saturday) by the Count Channel after playing the player Avdiel Arroyo during a game between Petah Tikva and Hapoel Haifa. “Now I’m putting him on the plane. Egoist, send him home, waste his time.” When the broadcaster said Arroyo was coming from Panama, Sharaf said: “Panama, he should go eat bananas.”

We take Shlomo Sharaf’s ugly and racist statement very seriously and we will not go over it in silence. We will work with the franchisee to complete a significant disciplinary procedure against him. We will not allow anyone to harm players on the basis of religion, race or origin
