Unlike some, I can understand how he would feel. I've been called all kinds of racial slurs. A few kids have even threatened to "hang me by a noose".

I must say, I haven't heard racist commentary in quite a while at the football. It still happens (obviously) but not the norm. I dare say, the next person who might want to voice their backwards views might think twice.

It doesn't surprise me anymore. I like watching soccer. However, events like racist chants basically ruin the game.

And it isn't limited to football.

Lithuania Warned Over Crowd Racism at Basketball - Wall Street Journal - WSJ.com
