Real Madrid faces member backlash over new criticism rules

Real Madrid’s recently enacted Reglamento de Disciplina Social has sparked criticism among club members. Effective August 1, the new regulations aim to address modern issues such as ticket resale. However, some members believe the provisions, particularly Articles 9.7 and 10.18, may unjustly restrict free speech about club representatives. These articles classify disrespect towards directors and damaging comments as serious infractions. The regulations replace a previous code from 2017, with the club stating the updates are necessary due to technological advancements. The next steps involve continued discussion among members and potential disciplinary actions under the new framework.
