Racism in football

[WILF 46,982]

Look, Football isn’t cricket lads.....it’s a high tempo, high passion game that’s is traditionally the domain of the working classes.

Of course most of them lads ain’t going to walk out of the ground and shout “you black c**t” in the face of the first ethnic they come across.....but when your team is 2-1 down in the last 20 minutes and Pogba pretends to fall over in the box or Kante hits your centre forward with a crunching tackle then you are going to shout something.

Football is tribal and aggressive......always has been.

f***ing hell, everyone should just grow a pair and accept that this is the arena you compete in.

I couldn't give a shit what colour someone is, if they're decent people they're decent people. 

Many of my idols are black and I'm sure some of yours are, racial abuse at a footballer is bang out of order from simpletons who can't think of anything better to say.

Not trying to cause an arguement or bring up what was said etc but didn't you leave the forum  for months of some name calling thrown your way. 

I bugged out because It was better for me to do so......and much better for the person who said it.

I like walking around free and I’m sure the other fella just likes being able to walk around

Stop playing silly arse for a second, you know full well that there's no place for it in this day and age. You can't single someone out and abuse them for their colour, the law says so. 

Are most folk that lash out and name call rabid racists, of course not but they are idiots nonetheless. It's OK saying they should just laugh it off but I should imagine it's not a nice feeling getting taunted for the colour of your skin.

Mate, it’s like this......if you scream racist abuse at a football match then 9 times out of 10 you will be aimed out by stewards or nicked, there is also a better than even chance the old bill will put your front door through once they identify your seat number and link that to a season ticket.

When football players cry about racism I can’t take it seriously because the fact is that it’s so f***ing rare it’s almost laughable to call it “a thing”

One chant I remember in the 80s was trigger trigger trigger shoot that nigger which was widely used  how would today's lot cope with that it's wrong I know but that was of chants aimed at back players back then there's no place for it but some of the comments said aren't what you don't  hear on a daily basis any were and at the end of the day it's just a name like queer puff paki honky etc

Don't want to spoil the party but I feel most racists on here wouldn't be so open about it among the coloured folk. 

Does walking into the Black and White cafe in St Pauls in Bristol and shouting "where's that black cnut who's just ripped me off?" and not getting shot for it but getting sorted out count as being open enough?.

Exactly, it's wrong at the end of the day and you know it. We can all have a light hearted laugh at it but being serious, would you call a little girl a black c**t or nigger to her face? 

Yes I understand folk lash out and say things they don't really mean but in this day and age there's no excuse, I'm sure folk like TOMO don't find it funny.
