At an amateur football game on Urk an immigrant player from the visitors drops out because of an injury. The stadium speaker from Urk calls this disrespectfully and says that Ali Baba must already get off the field with a cramp. Even when introducing the players, this immigrant player has already been treated disrespectfully by the announcer. About another player from the visitors, who has a Turkish-Dutch background, the speaker says sarcastically after mentioning his name: “a real Ermelose name”. The players cannot be provoked, but hope so Urk takes measures against the man. The President of Urk says it was not racist, but the board does apologize.
