ARRIGO SAACHI IS STUCK IN A TIME WARP
Arrigo Saachi who coached the great Milan
side of the late 80s and early 90s as well as
Italy, tarnished his legacy when he said that
the Italian Youth teams are made up of too
many blacks. He is from the old school and
cannot seem to understand that the tide is
turning. If he looked to Germany and
France he would realize that both countries
incorporated diversity into the make up of
their teams. It is no coincidence that both
teams have won the World Cup with this
formula in the last 17 years! Views of the
likes of Saachi and Dave Whelan are not
helpful in fighting racism. Both are clearly
stuck in a time warp.
CHELSEA FANS RACIST BEHAVIOUR ON TRAIN
Anyone who thought racism had
disappeared from the English
Premier League is deluded. It
reared its ugly h ead again
recently, when Chelsea fans
stopped a black fan from
boarding a train, whilst making a
racist chant. The authorities
have been very complacent
thinking racism was a thing of
the past.
Chelsea have suspended some
of the culprits. It was bad
enough that the black person in
question at the train station was
already experiencing some very
racist attitudes towards him in France, but to also encounter it from English fans in his own
country was probably a bit too much and totally unacceptable! Racism should not be condoned
in any form or shape. Those fans should be given life bans by Chelsea!
