Leeds United will face Hull City in the Championship on Saturday at the KCOM Stadium.
Ahead of the match, Leeds have suffered a huge blow after the Whites goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has been suspended for eight games.
The 33-year-old Spaniard has also been fined £60,000 after being found guilty of racially abusing Charlton Athletic forward Jonathan Leko.
The former Real Madrid goalkeeper has also been ordered to attend a face-to-face education session.
Shortly afterwards, Hull City posted a tweet on their official handle, saying – “A timely reminder that tomorrow’s match against Leeds United is dedicated to Kick It Out…”
“Since its inception in 1993, Kick It Out has provided a clear, independent voice within the game to challenge discrimination and exclusion, as well as offering education for professional players, clubs, fans, grassroots organisations and beyond,” read the club statement.
While Kick It Out is no doubt a great initiative to eradicate racism in football, the timing of Hull City’s post has irked many Leeds United fans. Here are some of the selected tweets:
No team talk needed tomorrow
