Mantis Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Giving the World Cup to Russia was such a stupid idea. Racism is rife in Russia, everyone knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Can't they just shake hands and move on? Are you now going to post a picture of yourself shaking hands with a black man to prove you're not racist too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Lokomotiv statement: "We would also like to note that Lokomotiv fans are among the most intelligent in the Premier League and have never been noticed in racist abuse." Hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baselayers Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I feel sorry in advance for the African players at that world cup already. Might prove quite distracting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 well fifa have always maintained they aren't apolitical body, which i can sort of understand, because if a world cup host is chosen on their human righs record, then there won't be much to choose from, will there? not that i agree with that stance, because fifa are one of the few global organisations that could make a powerful statement by telling russia to bugger off until things improve, but like every other global organisation, money talks. anway things won't improve in russia for a while yet. when people flee corrupt african countries, i don't think russia is high on their wish list. untill the country has a greater ethnic mix then ignorance will remain.

Given that it's a World Cup there will inevitable different races there. Being subjected to racist abuse isn't exactly ideal. But yes, you're right, money talks it seems.

AndyM3000 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We should really break from FIFA, they are a joke. **** them, we will start our own world cup. If we get Spain and Germany onside the rest will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I really don't want to sound like like im to aportionate any blame to a victim of crime (racial hatred being a disgusting and reprehensable crime) but until Russia drags itself out of the dark ages, why as a back guy would you want to live/work there. I've had a couple of beers tonight so again if I've not articulated myself properly i apologise. im in no way suggesting this behavior ok. just it should not come as a shock to any player that decides to play in Russia.

TrentVilla Posted March 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2012 As bad as it is that any player received racial abuse I have literally no sympathy for Samba. He knew or should have known what was coming his way when he signed for them, I presume he did and opted to take the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it make it right? he'll.bloody no,, but surely he knee what he was singing up to. As you say £££££££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am studying political science and ended up here completely by chance when my father saw a competition which I entered and was lucky to win. There are just two students studying for free here. The rest are paying about $6,000 per academic year. I share a room with two Russian girls in the hostel, which means I am picking up the Russian language. But I have got friends from all over the world, including Korea, Jamaica and India. We are all frightened of the skinheads. As a black-skinned girl, the university is the only safe place in Moscow. Beyond its bounds, it is another world. Lots of the foreign students have been attacked or beaten up. But I cannot sit in my room all the time. I need to go to the shops, and I sing in a choir, so I just pray nothing bad will happen every time I go out. I am not sure what I will do when I graduate. I would like to go to Europe, but that might not be realistic. I might end up staying here and pursue my main interest, singing, even if I am frightened.
