It is Spain,the home of Franco,a functioning Royal Family and a nation to whom Hitler was an ally during it's Civil War. Old habits never die. Haven't you wondered why racist English pensioners retire there to 'get away from the blacks and immigrants.'

Valencia have had their stadium partially closed, been fined and Vinicius’ red card has been rescinded.

 

Quite a decent response in this instance.

They have a considerably more left wing government than the UK.

A pro team did the same recently I think. Had a statue in the stadium.

 

EDIT - the stature thing was a Saudi team refusing to play an Iranian side.

This is the heart of the problem to be honest, people believing anything they read or hear so long as it conforms to their prejudices, without actually bothering to check.

The heart of what problem?

 

I don't have any prejudices - it was racist and is in the Racism thread.

I don't have any prejudices - it was racist and is in the Racism thread.

 

The problem with public discourse and social media in general, this forum included.

 

I agree it's racist. That was the point she was making. It doesn't stop being racist just because it's actually the other way around.

Just out of interest, would you have negged me if I'd posted her tweet saying that those at Liverpool St the other night were singing "Jihad" when in fact they were singing "ceasefire" ?

I thought you did post something about that, someone did anyway. I didn't neg anyone for it.

Maybe they decided not to play as a protest as opposed to being anti-semitic? If I was anti-semitic I'd quite fancy playing against a team of Jews. Think about it.

A protest against Jews? Okay then.
