For the same reason the poor hate the rich and powerful.
I'm fine with that.
Besides thats just the theme song libs and treehuggers came up with during the Bush administration. Kinda like the no blood for oil bullshit.

How long ago was this?
As disgusting as it was you may as well apologize to Mexico for taking Texas from them.

I guess I need to also apologize to Mexico for that Mexican chick I bang and never called back (my sgl days). I guess I could also apologize to Italy and Sweden for the same thing. I almost have to apologize to China and Japan.

I apologize for rap, disco and Michael Moore.

Man always has , and always will commit stupid horrible crimes against one another . I would like to know who ( or how many ) knew / OK'd this .... very sad . We also used Chemicals in Minnesota or Michigan during WW2 , to see how to defend against a chemical attack/s . Those who seek high power often abuse that power .

I don't see how that's surprising. We were already doing the same things right here at home.

I think a few years ago, when Samuel Eto'o of Inter Milan had bananas thrown at him while playing Lazio, an Italian soccer team. Lazio has a regular skin-head fan section in their stadium and they boo their own black players.

As a follower of soccer, this sort of thing is very common and occurs all the time. Racism is much more deep rooted and prevalent throughout Europe.

I'm a West Ham United fan and most of the really foul verbal abuse aimed at black players slowed after Ozzie Ardiles and Ricoardo Villa played for Spurs. It gave people another group to focus their hate on.

I enjoyed the terrace humor but the racism is and will always be utterly retarded.

One of my favorite chants from back in the day was "Who ate all the pies" at Gascoigne when he was a chubby bastard. We'd also pelt him with Mars bars (Milky Way in the US). More modern examples are "There's only two Andy Goram's" (instead of "There's only one Andty Goram" as is traditional) as he was diagnosed as schizophrenic.

Anyone else have an example of terrace humor that they'd like to share?

Is soccer really a good sport to use as an example of hate. It looks to me as they all hate each other about the same.

Even the fans hate each other and I cannot see that they care about a persons skin color.

There's a certain fascist element to the players too:



This is Paulo di Canio getting his fans all jiggy. Idiot.

FD there are fights in all sports between players and fans. The brawl at the Palace in the NBA, for example. I see videos each week of NFL fans mauling each other and wasn't one shot after a preseason game this year?

Be honest with your posts. Are you dismissing soccer as an example because you truly feel it's not fair to use a reflection of racism or is your personal anti-soccer bias impacting your opinion? Based on your generalizing nature/tone of your post, I would suspect the latter.

Your right you do see fights in all sports but you don't see the fans in packs roaming around looking to fight other fans they hate. Its not a generalization its just what I see in the sport. Hell thats the only thing about soccer I like to watch.
