speak for yourself. I’m a huge racist.

/only half-joking

Babar- what indicates it’s changing?

See: This post. If teams and leagues start taking it seriously then it can be diminished as a part of the sport even if not fully eradicated and even if racism remains in the rest of Europe.

I assure you, they are.

Dealing with racism is an inherent part of playing in certain countries, especially Italy. It aint changing

History would suggest otherwise.

Having previously seen pix of his GF, all I can say is: Kevin-Prince is one lucky motor-boateng sumbitch.

That’s not funny. You’re not funny.

can help eradicate this from the spor

It won’t be eradicated. The best they can hope for is that the disgusting groups of Europeans across the continent are kept out of the stadiums.

Sorry for the delay…outlook corrupted, and I may have lost 5GBs of emails…so I got that going.

Anyway…I think it was mentioned above, but within the sport, the actions of players, teams, and governing bodies can help eradicate this from the sport. It has no place.

Last time I checked, Jim Crow no longer exists. So things change, just takes time.

Racism in Europe is getting worse, not better.

Pretty sad, and embarrassing.

But if I were a black athlete there, holy fuck would I be trying to move

John Terry is in full support of this idea.

baseball has the walkoff HR. soccer has the walkoff pitch. learn something new everyday.

I laughed.

Go figure, lot of leftover fascism in that country!

Yup, fascism is trending among the youth

dougie or crip walk?

Look up the Lazio anti-semetic events from this year.

Lazio and Roma fans are pieces of shit.

Racism in Europe is getting worse, not better. The rise of African and Arab immigration and the financial collapse have seen to that.

However, in some ways it has gotten better on the sport level in that a lot of the clubs are cracking down on the behavior and handing out lifetime bans, and if UEFA ever started giving out real fines that would be even more productive. The thinking is that if you punish the clubs for the behavior of the fans enough, the clubs will act as the police.

Totally apples and oranges. Look up the Lazio anti-semetic events from this year. Can’t judge it from an American context. It’s likely getting worse in Italy
