Citing how is opponents, Al Ahly, acted, Ashour says that they refused to shake the hands of the Borsaidy players. Also some soccer etiquette when team member is injured, to have a player from the opposing team come to the field to check up on him, was ignored, and there were some other slights to the Borsaidy team's honor.
In the end, Ashour says, his team was treated as badly as if they were Jews.
But....I thought that Jews were treated well in the Arab world? Wasn't he complimenting his opponents? For some strange reason, it seems like he is saying that it is normal in the Arab world to treat Jews like dirt!
There have been lots of reactions to his accusations
The owner of the club fined Ashour because he wasn't allowed to speak to the media.
The captain of the Ahly club strenuously denied that they treated the Borsaidy club like Jews.
None of the reactions included people who pointed out that Jews are treated as honored members of Arab society. Even if there are Egyptian pop songs written by people who work for American companies warning that Jews will always cheat you.
