The "Fortuna" football club in Düsseldorf, Germany, participates in the second Bundesliga. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The club decided not to sign a contract with Israeli national team player Shon Vaysman, taking into account the opinions of its fans. This was reported by the Jpost news source.
Shon Vaysman was very close to transferring from Spain's "Granada" to "Fortuna" for 500 thousand euros. He just needed to sign the contract.
However, the player's negative comments about Palestine on social media caused public outrage. This comment was later deleted, but it did not alleviate the fans' discontent.
After the incident, Shon Vaysman stated that he accepts all criticism but regrets that his words were not evaluated in full context. Shon Vaysman has played in 29 matches for the Israeli national team, scoring 5 goals.
Last season, he participated in 31 matches at the club level, contributing 4 goals and 4 assists.
