The Football Association have said they are 'determined' to drive out the use of the term 'rent boy' from football, following chants from Nottingham Forest supporters during their draw with Chelsea. Forest announced following the game that they would be investigating the actions but Chelsea's official LGBTQ+ and friends supporters group called upon the FA to do more following the incident.
The phrase was officially defined and recognised as a homophobic slur by the Crown Prosecution Service in January 2022. Blues fans have already been subject to the sentiment in their Premier League match against Manchester United this season.
The FA will investigate the matter following yesterday's match but has yet to update it's own rulebook following the ruling of the CPS last year.
