Contents/Summary

Summary
Beitar Jerusalem F.C. is the most popular and controversial football team in Israel, and was the only club in the Premier League never to sign an Arab player. Midway through the 2012-13 season, the team owner, Russian-Israeli oligarch Arcadi Gaydamak, brought two Muslim players from Chechnya onto the team through a secret transfer deal. This led to the most racist campaign in Israeli sport and sent the club spiralling out of control. One season in the life of this famed club tells the story of Israeli society, personal identity, politics, money, and how racism is destroying a team and society from within.
