UEFA Says Nothing About Russian Racism

The deafening silence from UEFA about the obvious displays of Russian racism undermines the integrity of the sport of football. The sign in question is that displayed about Nigerian player Osaze Odemwingie, who incidentally has a Russian mother ...

Take a long look at the sign above ... look at the jeering fans ... it shows a banana (often thrown at black players) ... pretty pathetic.

This would not be hard to understand when you look at the event that occurred one week later in Russia, where concert-goers were attacked by over 100 skin heads, and child was stabbed to death ... horrific!

Who organizes and orchestrates these things? This is extreme racism, xenophobia and seems to be common place. If a 14 year old girl can be murdered in cold blood one week later, is this a place where we would want FIFA to host a World Cup??? I think not. Who can guarantee the security of fans around the world, if these people would readily murder a child?

Maybe these thugs are mutates from Chernobyl or Dzerzinsk ... who knows ... there are so many of them ...

Back to football, UEFA and the Russian Football Federation have not made any comments about this display of racism at the Lokomotiv Moscow match. UEFA though has taken considerable effort to issue a ban on vuvuzelas, which have never been an in issue in games across Europe ...
