Racism in Football

#1
Barcelona's superb week continued following a late 2-0 win over Real Zaragoza on Saturday.

Frank Rijkaard's men were in blistering form in their UEFA Champions League success over Chelsea on Wednesday and have now followed that up with another success.

The game was not without controversy however, with Samuel Eto'o threatening to walk off due to racist abuse received from home supporters at Estadio La Romareda.

The games was heading for a draw until Albert Celades handled Edmilson's goal-bound shot giving the visitors a penalty.

Former Barca man Celades was sent off and Ronaldinho stroked home the penalty after 79 minutes.

The game was over minutes later when Henrik Larsson netted from close range to ensure Barca took home all three points.

Atletico Madrid heaped more misery on Malaga, hammering them 5-0 on Saturday.

Atletico jumped into seventh place thanks to the win, while sorry Malaga remain rooted to the foot of the Primera Liga.

Fernando Torres (6 & 9) got the home side off to a flying start and Maxi Rodriguez (40) secured a comfortable 3-0 half-time lead.

The massacre was completed by Juan Valero's second-half brace, his goals coming after 66 and 90 minutes.
Eto'o was convinced not to leave by the referee and Rijkaard. Personally I think everyone should have walked out in protest, black players and white players. Something really need to be done about racism, particulary in the Spanish league.

Yeah I saw the game, it was fucked up... Second time it's happened now to Eto'o there, the club was also fined 600 euros which is peanuts a month ago for fans racist chants, they really need to do something.

This is not the first time that we see things like this in Spain. There are some hypocrites in La Liga HQ because punishments for such acts are so weak. But, Eto'o is very popular and famous player so maybe now they'll do something about it. It will be disater if La Liga officials don't do anything special this time. Such act will encourage other uneducated no-brain 'fans' to continue to insult not only black players but also foreign players.
Years ago Leyder Preciado, Columbian striker, was forced to leave his club Racing Satander because his team mates were insulting him and refusing to pass him the ball beacause of his skin colour. Really sad. And racism is increasing not only in Spain but also in Italy.

I dunno if walking off the field is the right thing to do.It will only make the racists think they have won.Its sad to see this happening in this day in age.I think teams whos fans have been racist should be force to play games behind closed doors.Then these clubs will be forced to address the problem.Racism seems to be common with supporters of most Spanish clubs.

What makes it more stupid is the fact that its happening in Spain. A country which couldn't wait to join the EU to leech off other member states and one which its main source of income is tourism ie foreigners visiting their country. It's so backwards its unbelievable.

UEFA/FIFA should step in and do something because the Spanish FA are pathetic.

Yeah, I actually watched that game yesterday. Was a great game, but La Liga has always had problems with racism. So many games have been stalled due to racist chanting

We have our own in the Croatian League, last time Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split faced off, Hajduk fans were talking big time racism cause there is have a brazilian and a black guy on Dinamo, but it was just Hajduk getting pissed cause they were losing probably.

I didn't know about racism in Slovakian football either... doesn't surprize too much though.

Ya, most of Europe has been becoming more and more racially offensive.

England under-19s played Slovakia today right here in Northampton, England! (cheap pop)

Went to the game, we won 3-0. Theo Walcott missed a penalty. Must be an Arsenal thing.
