(CNN)Three players (Tom Hopper, Adam Smith and James Pearson) for English football club Leicester City, including the son of the club's manager, have been sacked after video surfaced of them apparently participating in a racist orgy on the team's recent Thai tour.
"It is committed to promoting a positive message of community and family values and equality, and to upholding the standards expected of a Club with its history, tradition and aspirations."
One of the women was called a "slit eye" on the tape, and one of the players told a woman she was "an absolute one out of 10."
The Sunday Mirror reported that the footage was shared by at least one of the players with friends back in the United Kingdom.
The scandal was especially sensitive to Leicester City, as the club has Thai owners and has been sponsored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
