BOSSES at Bradford Bulls have insisted it is a "club for all" - after a slew of hateful comments were posted in response to a video showing a call to prayer at Odsal Stadium.
The video, which was uploaded by Bradford Bulls on Facebook and X last night, attracted hundreds of comments.
Today, Bradford Bulls hit back with a powerful statement on social media.
"It's not about IMG points," they said.

"It's not about ticking boxes. Rugby league is a sport for all. Bradford Bulls are a club for all.
"Bartercard Osdal Stadium is a place for all.
"Whoever you are, wherever you are from, you are welcome here."
Several positive comments were also posted in response to the video.
On Facebook, one fan said: "Anyone is more than welcome at Odsal. Personally proud my club hosts these events. Good work all involved."
Another said: "Bradford is a home for everyone and every culture."
On X, someone said: "Well done (Bradford Bulls). Nothing wrong with involving all members of all our community in our beautiful game. Haters need to do one."
"Well done Bradford. People who hate have never engaged with others," another person commented.
