Racism in Football Stadiums

After scoring the winning goal for England in the remuneration of the arbitrator mass brawl between players and coaching staff of both teams followed, while racist chants could be heard in the stands throughout the game. Like many people, my friend could not understand how come most of the stadium is to insult a sudden dark skin. Player above, Danny Rose (20), said: "Every time I went to get the ball for a throw-in, the fans began singing monkey," adding that he had trouble focusing on the game. After 60 minutes of the Rose angrily kicked the ball and was sent off.




The question hung in the air: Why racism and violence in football stadiums in the Balkans? At first I did not know what to say, but this game is not an isolated example. For FIFA has HNS (Croatian Football Association) in 2008 because of the racist English national team player Emil Heskey?

The answer came quickly. Indeed, despite a fierce war raging in this region for over 20 years, it seems that in the minds of some people that the war is still ongoing. And these people tend to always blame others (and different) people for every problem - if unemployment, hard times or daily frustrations. A large group of fans born in the years after the war: if parents, teachers and society as a whole have not thought about tolerance, forgiveness and acceptance of diversity, why are we surprised by such events?

It would not be fair to conclude racism in stadiums belongs exclusively to "Balkans owners" - there are also examples of other countries Way, after the latest Euro 2012 UEFA sanctioned Spanish and Russian Football Federation, Spanish fans did. monkey chants during the match against Italy cause Balotelli and fans were insulting Russians Czech Gebrselassie.

Could it be that tolerance and mutual respect for the fans and players of the opposing team grows GDP, ie the rule of the country? When was the last time you listened to "rabid fans caused the Norwegian international football match of the incident," or that the player grossly insulted Finns have black skin? Since then, I have not heard. But blaming poverty and violent racist outbursts just scratch the surface of the growing problems.

Thus, football should punish these crimes more difficult, but more importantly - the fans should develop an awareness that no discharge negative energy or fighting racist chants will solve their problems. The same problems will still be waiting for them after their return from the football game, they are just going to get another, they almost made a fool when enthusiastically insult a player based on their skin color. And that, as the Serbs say, "lost all football" ("promasili ceo fudbal ').
