To be fair, the article says that the other soccer team is nicknamed "the Jews." Very odd name. And he says his intention was to say that he would rather die than be a member of the other team. Kind of like a Yankees player saying he would rather die than be a Mets player.
A number of European teams are called that- including this guy's team!- for various reasons. They wear it with pride, but it's often used by the opponents to say some pretty blatantly anti-Semitic things. Nope, this guy knew what he was doing.
