Mario - I'll walk off pitch if faced with racism

[Rammyblues]

Oh dear, I would hope that all his colleagues would go with him and withdraw from competition. In addition I would also hope that other countries would follow suit and do the same leaving the tournament in shambles and Platini with egg on his face for picking places where such racism (if it is widespread) exists. Only way to defeat these bastards is to take away the football altogether.

Eagles you need to watch the panorama documentary. The attack on the Asians wasn't just random as there were literally thousands and i do mean thousands of white supremacist at that match all doing the Nazi salute. In fact before the match the guy that did the documentary went of and did an interview with the leader of their group and he himself showed how nasty they are. Also the most worrying thing was the Ukrainian police high up that was interviewed denied that anything like that ever happened at any football match EVER. Even though the documentary team had footage showing all the Nazi/white supremacist shit going on at every single match they went to.

BTW the Asians were not fans of an opposing team they were actually their to support the white supremacist team. Also they were sat in the family stand as they thought they would be safe in there.

Just got a chance to watch this myself, absolutely shocking. They make monkey noises as their own players who aren't white, attack their own fans and seem to worship hitler.
It's not as if it's 1 group or even 1 team, it seemed to be thousands of fans in every team doing the hitler salute, holding racist flags and so on.

If I was in Balotelli's position I wouldn't go.
I definitely won't be going there as a fan either.

Shocking bullshit being spewed about Polish people.<br /><br />-- Wed May 30, 2012 6:34 pm --<br /><br />

I dont know why are people making out Poland and Ukraine to be craddles of racism??!!

Please - someone update me. These countries had almost no exposure to slavery issues and had historically very limited exposure to other races in general - which actually eliminates any anymosity towards black people or other races in general.

So what is the reason? Because fucking Sol Campbell said so?

Most disgraceful statement by a professional athlete (Sol Campbell) to "advise" England fans not to go to the tournament as these two countries are "unsafe".

Do you even know where these countries are, Sol??? Or their history? Or are you just being ignorant?

I would fucking bring a lawsuit on his ass, if at all possible.

Cause this is ridiculous.

People comparing Italy (ex-fascist country) or Spain (country with one of the biggest imperialistic histories in Europe) to fucking Poland are CLUELESS.

This amount of ignorance sickens me.

Great post. Truly embarrassed by some of the posts on here, clearly ignorant and bigoted themselves.

So according to Ian wright in the sun today, the racists would have won if Mario walks in the euros.. So what message is our fa saying then if they have told the ethnic followers to stay at home.

Just watched the panorama programme and is does make for shocking viewing.

I see....well, I think someone's ought to analyse the racial situation in those countries in bit more detail (is this a common occurence or isolated incident) before coming out with such harsh statements...by no means I'm saying those countries are safe havens - but incidents like that, again, happen everywhere (England included)...it's the frequency that matters more IMO.

Wow, I might look that up then...if that's true it is fucking shocking beyond words at this day and age.

Now whos being ignorant? Youve commented on something you didnt have a clue about and have completely changed your view after finding out more.

Sol campbell watched a video of asians being beaten up for the colour of their skin in an unprovoked attack, and sol campbell says ethnic minorities shouldnt go for their own safety. You would be shocked to hear anything else

No one seems to mention the fans and their feelings. Imagine how they would feel if they had to sit there and listen to it. Either at the stadium, watching it in the pub or at home or will the sound be drowned because it is deemed "too offensive".

I think it's fair to say that whatever Mario does this summer, it'll be the wrong thing and he'll be slated for it.

I said to a neighbour earlier that UEFA and Blatter don't give a fuck and neither do some of the countries and their governing bodies. The only way this will be taken seriously is if a major national team took action and walked off half way through a game. The headlines worldwide this would create would surely make the right statement that we wont tolerate this disgraceful behaviour anymore and its about time the sponsors of these tournaments took a stance. Its all too easy everyone saying we're here to play football and it's not up to us to be involved in politics, thats for somebody else, of course it fucking well is we're all involved.

true dat..

It isn't a great post at all and are you denying what I witnessed in the panorama video, and the SSN special?
