(IsraelNN.com) Polish authorities are investigating a soccer player whose T-shirt showed anti-Semitic writing, the French news agency AFP reported. The player, Arkadiusz Mysona, is suspected of calling for hate on an ethnic basis and committing a public offense against a country.

His team, LKS Lodz, has fined him $13,000 and prohibited him from playing in a championship game. Mysona explained that an unknown supporter gave him the shirt and that he did not check to see what was written on it.
