The Swiss Football League has fined FC Sion $21,600 for displaying political messages on its jerseys, AP reports.

Sion players wore the slogan “Tourism is Jobs” against the Servette match on Feb. 26.

The message is linked to the upcoming rally, which will discuss the issue of limiting vacation home ownership. Sion players had another slogan “Solidarity between cantons (states)” during the next match as well.

The League currently discusses the case of the second slogan.
