Yep, that's the way it is.
We used to have a problem with racist taunts at football matches twenty or so years ago here, but it doesn't happen now. One particularly nasty stunt that used to happen was to throw bananas on the pitch when black players came on. One black guy (forget his name) used to pick them up and start eating them.
Nowadays the crowds content themselves with cruel jibes about some of the players wives.
For example..."Posh Spice..." (married to David Beckham)..."takes it up the ----!"
I'm not sure what the four dashes is supposed to represent, but I can't think of anything that rhymes.
