Black Americans: What is going on with the racism in soccer?

[theglamourousmisssherwood]

I know we've got the NFL, the NBA and the MLB here... as Americans soccer (aka football) isn't really on our radar...

But with so much blatant racism in the stands, perhaps it is time we start watching!

This is the sort of thing Jackie Robinson faced in the 1940's so that Ryan Howard, Michael Strahan and Kobe Bryant would not have to deal with it today!

As a Pan-African community we must cry out "No MAS!"
TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE IT RIGHT!
And if you aren't even going to watch the videos then don't waste your time answering the question.

And white Americans are supposed to be the most 'racist' of all I guess.

Jeez..

Wasn't somebody just complaining about the lack of blacks in baseball?

I bet 800 years from now when there is maybe one white guy left on the planet everybody else will still be accusing him of "12 hunna yeas of O preshun"

It will never end.

Black Americans whats going on with the racism in your churches.

To answer your question, the football is playing played in southern Europe, if you lived there and had thousands of African illegal immigrants pouring across the Mediterranean everyday you'd probably not be a fan of Africans either. Its not nice to see any being treated badly but you really have to see what African do in Europe before you judge, I know I live there.
