FC St. Pauli Sanctions Supervisory-Board Member Over Social-Media Attacks on Captain Jackson Irvine

The club withheld the name in its notice after an internal review found the comments harmful, ordering a fine for youth awareness training.

Overview

  • The honorary council said comments posted under Jemilla Pir’s Instagram posts violated club rules and damaged the club’s interests.
  • Sanctions were issued under §29 1 a) and f) of the statutes, including an undisclosed monetary penalty earmarked for awareness training in the youth departments.
  • The official statement did not identify the sanctioned person, though local reporting names supervisory-board member René Born.
  • The club did not disclose the fine’s amount, and Born has not publicly commented or apologized as of the announcement.
  • Jackson Irvine described the attacks as hard and deeply hurtful in an interview with ABC News, with a November 15 members’ meeting noted as a potential venue for further statements.
