The Football Association has insisted it is "determined" to stamp homophobia out of football after Chelsea fans demanded they update their rulebook following abusive chanting.
Chelsea Pride urged the governing body to act after the 'rent boy' chant was heard during the Blues' draw with Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Last January, Mirror Football revealed that chant would be classed as a homophobic hate crime by the Crown Prosecution Service going forward.
Despite that stance, though, the FA is still yet to update its rulebook to bring itself in line with the CPS. Following the latest incident of the chant being directed towards Chelsea fans and players, the FA has been forced to defend its stance.
