Racism in Football - Eternal Allegiance

After watching the Slovakia v England soccer match, I have to put this up, I cant believe in this day and age, racism in soccer still exists, making money noises at England's Emile Heskey and Ashley Cole is a disgrace, why do they do this,what can be done. Its disgusting.

I agree with you, it's disgusting and hopefully someday it will all stop (which I doubt

)

Last CL game between PSV - Arsenal, there were also "supporters" that screamed things to Henry. Really stupid and disgusting. The club had to pay (if I'm correct) 20.000 euros.

I haven't seen the racism in the game you said, but hopefully the FIFA can give a punishment again.

As one that lives in Israel i can tell u that unfortunately racism still exsists! lots of times when an Israeli team is playing u hear ppl screaming Hitler in the background or Die israel or all those racist calls! i hope this phenomenon will disappears soon!

I think it was disgraceful, these fans (or so called fans) should be caught and banned from soccer for life.

I heard on the radio that Heskey has asked UEFA to stop Slovakian fans travelling to England's home match against their team as a punishment for this.

Racism should be stamped out in soccer right away. Anyone caught doing it should be banned from all soccer stadiums for life as punishment. It's totally unacceptable.

I agree and I felt so sorry for Heskey, it was awful, worst I ever heard.

I didn't actually hear the words that were shouted at him during the game but I think it was in the newspaper the day after.

A direct apology from the fans would be a good soultion, but they should still be banned.
