During WWE RAW on July 7, chants of 'Goldberg' were heard, but it was confirmed that WWE was piping in these chants, a tactic they have used before, ahead of Goldberg's upcoming match against GUNTHER at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 11, which is billed as Goldberg’s Last Ride.
During Glastonbury Festival, performances by Bob Vylan and Kneecap included controversial chants calling for 'free Palestine' and criticizing the Israeli military, which led to strong condemnation from the government, a BBC warning about offensive language, and police review for potential offences.
Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in Washington, DC, before marching to the White House, chanting "Allahu akbar" and "F--k Joe Biden," accusing the president of genocide and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. The protest, which drew attendees from across the country, included chants calling for the elimination of the State of Israel. While mostly peaceful, some vandals defaced the White House gates with red paint, and a nearby McDonald's was also damaged. Similar protests took place in Manhattan and London, with arrests made in the latter. Speakers at the DC protest encouraged the crowd's anger and called for an end to US aid to Israel. The protest ended without major incidents.
Video evidence shows that Rayo Vallecano fans were the ones chanting "Vallecanos, junkies and gypsies" during their match against Real Madrid, not the home team's fans. The chant is sung ironically by Rayo fans about themselves as a way of celebrating their humble and diverse roots. Both Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid fans showed their support for Vinícius Jr. and condemned racism in football. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.
