Ah, progressive socialist Spain has so much more regard for human dignity than those backward American capitalist Neanderthals.

I believe the Zaragoza fans also threw bananas at African players as well as making insulting noises.

Apparently in Spain, if you want to earn respect, you need to either blow people up or sodomize them.

No, you have the fringe shin heads in every country. The people of Spain are some of the best people in the world. Even if there is a bit of a socialist in many.

Attn FR F1 fans, please put me on your ping list if there’s one out there.

This year is going to be a good one to see.

I think Fernando Alonso was poised to win the championship last year, and McClaren should have helped him more based off his experience and commitment.

Hamilton as the year ending races showed, lost due to lack of experience. He was faster than FA at times, but FA could have won it.

BTW, anyone know the best source to stream F1 races, I even looked on speedtv’s site for pay per view, didn’t see anything.

Right now in testing FA’s Renault about a half to 1 second slower than the McClarens.......

Interestingly, when those events happen in Europe (not just in Spain but in Holland, directed at Jews, and Italy and elsewhere directed against blacks) we are told that it doesn't reflect poorly on Europe, but on just a particular sort of European, the sort who goes to soccer games to throw bananas.

Evidently this assessment is in error.

From an American POV, that this kind of stuff goes in in 2008 is unbelievable. Europe is apparently at the stage of race relations where America was when Jackie Robinson joined the Dodgers and had to put up with similar abuse, in 1947.
