Leading retailer Sports Direct has apologised to customers after a security guard allegedly barred “Jews” from entering its store.
The security guard was removed from the store after he told Jewish students they could not enter the branch in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, on Friday afternoon.
The guard, who was sacked from the security company supplying Sports Direct with staff, reportedly told two Year 7 students wearing Yavneh College school uniform: “No Jews, no Jews”.
Lawyer David Rosen, whose son was prevented from entering the retailer by the guard, complained to managers.
In a Facebook post, he wrote: “Other children from the same school, whose uniform was covered by a coat, were let in without question."
Professor Rosen, the former head of the Yavneh Association committee, later added: “The matter has been taken extremely seriously by Sports Direct at the highest managerial level. The area manager, in the first instance, acted swiftly to remove the security guard for the offensive remarks, who in turn, no longer works for the security company.
“Simon Bentley, the senior independent director at Sports Direct, contacted me, and having thoroughly investigated the matter, apologised.
“Sports Direct have confirmed to me that the actions of this guard were entirely contrary to their policies and that Jews are welcome as are all customers, whatever their religious denomination."
A Sports Direct spokesman said: “Our area manager was notified immediately of this incident and took swift action.
"He personally removed the guard and liaised with the security company which employed the individual. We were subsequently advised that he has been let go by that company.
"The guard was deeply offensive and disrespectful to the school children. We take pride in the lack of prejudice amongst our trained staff and will not tolerate discrimination..."

Yes you know it had to be some Muzzie.
Have I profiled and stereotyped? Very well. I have profiled and stereotyped. Anybody want to bet it’s a rank and file C of E faithful?
Was the euphemism “western asian” or “asian” used? That’s the weasel word the British press uses instead of muslim.

Was the security guard arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offense. If not why not?
Sometimes profiling and stereotyping works. :-)
No description of the guard whatever. But that itself speaks volumes. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3203948/posts
Yes. Like a shotgun. Crude. But crudeness can be effective.
No, the guard will go on a murderous rampage targeting Jewish students.
That’s how Muslim fanatics act (assuming that the guard is a Muslim). It has happened in Israel several times in the past few months.
OK. Murderous rampage AND sue the store from hoosgow for driving him to it.
Borehamwood, Hertfordshire is in England, just to the north of London.
It has worked for thousands of years. It is ingrained in human instincts because those too lazy or stupid to practice it, had a tendency to be killed by other tribes and removed from the gene pool.
Now you’ve got it!
