tsk tsk @ you Europeans who think racism is dead, or an "American" problem
 

yea...Soccer isn't that huge in America like it is in Europe...

Well, what's up with people throwing bananas on the field when African (black) players play? On top of that, the crowd slings racial epithets at the players.

I thought we Americans were just exaggerating racism.


pssf...yea sure...

That's ridiculous man.


:nono:

they are called hooligans, not fans... look up before tryna be clever next time.

Its a minority.

Every english club is in the "Kick racism out of football" organisation.

I'm sure they'd disagree wit you...And, it's not just with the "fans"...Institutionalized racism in soccer is as real as anything...

So yea...LOOK UP before tryna be clever next time.

WTF does that mean anyway?


:nono:

Did I say it was the "majority"? No...But, people on this site tend to make it seem like we Americans are just "touchy" and blowing things out of proportion. Here is racism around the world in perhaps the largest sport in the world.

Come on people...stop making excuses for racists.

The Ku Klux Klan is a minority in the US, too. But, that doesn't lessen the effects of it.

the only people who are offencive to people at football matches are hooligans, hence why i said, hooligans, obviously there will be racists aswell, but people that go to matches looking for trouble, are hooligans.

dont try school me on shit that happens in a country ive lived in and grown up in for 21 years.

your not as clever as you like to think.

lol i saw that in ESPN mag on the world Cup section. that Henry dude was talkin' about th ebanana throwing. that's fucked up

wtf u chattin, there is as much / more racism here as there is there, its a minority here and there.

Thierry Henry is a fuckin sick player.

listen bro...on this site, and I've witnessed it, whenever someone brings up the issue of racism, people who don't live in the US take the posture of it being a non-factor, or us just being "sensitive."


I guess soccer proves that wrong. Throwing bananas on the field? Geesh...that' not even something anyone would dare do here nowadays.

Racism is bunk.

Racism where i am is big, theres race riots and scraps about it weekly.

Worst place for racial tension in EU and USA, not to blacks, but too Asians so yaknow, ive never said racism is dead.

^^K......I just found it interesting than in the 21st century, people can still act so ugly over something as trivial and trifling as skin color.

It makes no sense.

whites and blacks do tend to stick farely close.

its the asian community(pakistani, indian siek, etc) that seem to have alot problem with everybody else, but you cant just blame whites, they are just as much to blame as everybody else.

Racism is NEVER gonna end, it makes people feel superior. If I knew living in a racist society meant I'd feel superior and not even face the true effects of it I'd think its no big deal too.
