Ruben Gnanalingam, part-owner of Los Angeles FC, faced backlash for reposting anti-Israel content on LinkedIn. His posts included inflammatory comparisons between the Gaza conflict and the Holocaust. After criticisms from Major League Soccer and LAFC, he expressed regret, stating he never intended to offend and took responsibility for his actions. Gnanalingam announced he would step back from social media to reflect on the impact of his communications, emphasizing his commitment to unity and respect. Both MLS and LAFC decried hate and are reviewing the matter further.
It was never my intention to offend or harm anyone, and I take responsibility for not exercising greater caution before sharing these posts.
MLS and LAFC believe in unity and we stand firmly against hate in any form, as they condemned Gnanalingam’s reposts in a joint statement.
