More likely the imperial president ordered his drones to pay for the fans to heckle Jozy, just so the liberal media could take the story and run with it, as if it was tied to the right…Really, get a life.

I support their right to say whatever they want so long as it’s not a threat.

I also support private businesses’ right to oversee whom has the privilege of attending their matches. Problem, meet solution. Time to take out the trash.

“It’s called the old world for a reason, we left them behind. And man, are they behind.”
Really?!
Jeez, you guys act as if someone just walked into a school and shot a bunch of people….

Seriously though, what happened sucked, but it’s being handled. Those guys won’t get away with what they did.

The usual—anyone who disagrees with a person of your brilliance must be a racist I suppose. Classy.

Completely agree, the only thing worse than being labeled a racist in the U.S. is being labeled a child molester. Your better off being labeled a murderer, than a racist these days and that’s not an exaggeration.

If we are going to suggest heavy penalties, I would just tear gas the section that was chanting racist stuff.

Why does the UEFA(?) continue to put up with this crap? If I were a ref, I would threaten the crowd that, if racist taunts are heard, the opposing team automatically wins. That would shut them up.

Is it possible for someone in Europe to publicly express racist ideas and still find employment? I know that racism is still alive in the US, but the ‘social pariah’ factor seems to keep most of the idiots from expressing their views around others.

Thanks for that – I always transpose those two.

The acronym is basically Dutch for Royal Dutch Football League … or maybe Association and not league.

When it comes to racist incidents, Europe has once again paved the way.

I believe the name of the competition is the “KNVB Cup” (just don’t ask me what that stands for in Dutch).

And people hold up Europe as the gold standard of soccer in the world. Please.

It’s called the old world for a reason, we left them behind. And man, are they behind.

I thought the Europeans were supposed to be more sophisticated than us ugly Americans?
