RACISM ON PITCH

VIDEO: English Jews: Adebayor, Your Mum Is A Whore

Tottenham fans came up with a horrible chant which should leave no one indifferent. But it has, primarily various associations and the FA.

The English Football Association (FA), English football squad players, English fans and the entire English public have condemned Croats for racism over two months ago, because a group of fans insulted Heskey with monkey-like chanting. These condemnations would be justified and positive, if heads were not turned away from much worse situations on English stadiums.

They are numb when it comes to their back yard-.--.-Racist lyrics by Tottenham fans

They should not be hypocritical, supporting cheers and racist contents of songs are represented in all countries and all leagues. Primarily, they serve as provocations, not as views of those who shout them. Therefore, examples should not be especially singled out, but if England attacks Spaniards, Croats, Germans and the French over racism, then it is high time we mentioned the champions of this “sport” of belittling someone just because they have skin of a different colour, are of a different nationality or believe in something else.

The most interesting thing about this “racist story” is that is was stated by Jews, to be precise, Jews who support Tottenham. Anti-Semitism is in the air whenever they play away, they are targeted every week, which is something human rights groups are quick to criticise. This is why the expression “yid” is most severely banned, but nevertheless used when English Jews are mentioned. These are problems every country faces and as we mentioned, one should not be hypocritical and keep quiet about what moralists keep quiet about in England.

Belittled him because he is from Africa

Tottenham supporters crossed the line when they came down on Adebayor, just because he comes from Africa. They came up with a horrible chant which should leave no one indifferent. But it has, primarily various associations and the FA.

- Adebaaayoooor, Adebaaayooor, his Dad washes elephants and his mother`s a whore – the stadium resounded for several minutes with laughter.

The video was recorded at the start of the year, but it came into the limelight when England started condemning the rest of the world for something that happens on their stadiums. Watch the video HERE.
