Daily Mail ^ | 3/23/2015 | Tom White

Racism is widespread in English football with police having to deal with hundreds of incidents from the top of the game right down to grassroots level, an investigation has revealed.

It also revealed that Chelsea supporters have been involved in the highest number of reported racist incidents as they travelled to and from matches on trains.

The information, gathered from 24 police forces across the country, shows there have been over 350 incidents since 2012. But as that only accounts for around half the police forces in the country, the actual figure is likely to be much higher.

The charity Show Racism The Red Card said the number of incidents shows that racism is a societal problem and it was particularly shocked by the number of incidents of racist abuse at children's matches.

I don’t believe it. I don’t believe any accusations of racism anymore. Not a single one. I’m not saying there is no racism, I’m just saying if you live in a village where 100 different sheep herder boys cry wolf every day, I don’t believe the cry, ever... even if there really are wolves living out in the hills somewhere.

Sam, believe these. I lived over there for awhile and attended some soccer matches and there were incidents where the entire section of a crowd would be calling a black player a monkey.

Some really high profile incidents led to European teams being suspended from playing in UEFA events.

Accusations of racism have been weaponized both in UK and here. The division between the races grows exponentially at the same time. I see no solution.

I thought only Americans could be racist.

Most Premier League rosters are primarily black.

People that behave that way are the real monkeys.

Shameful.

Went to a Dodger game many moons ago, probably 35 years or so.

Got there early to enjoy the whole experience.

Down just behind the visiting team dugout were about three Dodger fans. They were heckling Cincinnati Reds’ Joe Morgan.

They were ripping him, his wife, anything they could come up with.

Joe just kept on warming up with another Reds’ player. He didn’t let on even once that he heard them. I was as far away from them as he was, and they were shouting toward him and away from me. I know he heard them.

There with my young children and wife, I didn’t get involved, but it made my blood boil something fierce.

Of course soccer fans there are cruel to every opposing player regardless of race.

The entire concept of "racism" is and always was just an ideological tool to bash white people with. There does not exist a single group of people on this planet who don't have a preference for their own tribe along racial lines, and who don't exhibit disdain for other races/tribes. As an example, not only do Asians such as Chinese, Koreans, etc. look down on black people, but they also look down on each other. The Chinese hate the Japanese, the Koreans hate the Japanese, the Japanese (used to at least) look down on Chinese and hate Koreans, etc. Mexicans look at black people as dirt, but mestizos also look down on indios, and the pure spanish blood look down on mestizos. Meanwhile, you have various African tribes which have been at war with each other for a millennium, and they routinely slaughter each other in the most brutal ways. Oh, and they also hate white people. Heck, black people in the US hate white people and are taught to do so from birth.

But nobody cares about all that. The only time any racial friction ever matters, EVER, is when white people exhibit anything less than complete submission to non-white people. Then racism is the most horrible thing imaginable. Never mind that, despite supposedly white people being such horrible racists, every other race has been desperately trying to sneak into white countries for decades if not centuries. The old saying "Look what they do, not what they say" applies here, and if white people were really so horrible, non-whites would be staying as far away as possible, but the opposite is true.

The truth is that "racism" is merely a concept created to get white people to give up their culture, wealth, and countries they built without firing a shot, and then go crawl off into a corner and die. And, by God, it's working.

I guarantee you, anyone that does something against a Muslim will be labeled ‘racist’. I wonder what the percentage is - vs. white on black crime due to race.

You’re spot on. So you must be racist ;p

Seriously, it is racism itself that sees racism everywhere where it doesn’t exist.

The second you assume something about somebody because of their color, it’s racism - and *everyone* does it. Which is why BLM is racist. Voter ID laws ARE RACIST, they assume black people aren’t competent enough to get one!

I bet those in places like San Francisco think that the entirety of middle America is nothing but white nationalist, racist, Nazi’s!!!!!

LOL

Isn’t all soccerball about nationalist pride and racism?

“MY country/team kicked YOUR country/team’s arse!”

For 8 years Democrapweasels called President Bush “Chimpy McBushitler”.

Monkey isn’t necessarily a racist slur (it can be but plenty of haters use it, regardless of ethnic target).

Very well stated. I wish I could fit it onto a bumper sticker.
