This action was prompted by columnist Kelvin MacKenzie's comments about the safety of "Irish" player Ross Barkley - in one of them, a player of Nigerian descent was compared to a gorilla.
The journalist decided to comment on reports that the 23-year-old player was attacked at a bar in Liverpool after Everton's victory over Leicester City.
Interestingly, "The Sun" has already apologized for MacKenzie's words, but this did not prevent the club from taking appropriate actions.
Yesterday, Everton football club informed the newspaper "The Sun" that it is banned from visiting "Goodison Park," "USM Finch Farm" training base, and all places where the club operates," the statement said.
"We will not surprise any journalist by responding to these odious and unfounded accusations, the newspaper must know that any attack against this city, whether it is against a very respected community or an individual, is unacceptable."
However, MacKenzie himself holds a different opinion.
"I, like anyone else, had no idea about Ross Barkley's family origins. The fact that the mayor of Liverpool and many others described the article as racist is more than a parody," MacKenzie said.
