Well you can annex territories of other countries, rig elections, suppress political opposition by poisoning ...and still get the nod. You can have zero football history or followers, outlaw homosexuality, alcohol, employ slave labour....and you still fit the bill. What's one drunken yobfest (no fatalities and magnified as usual by the media) compared to all that?
Currently the fastest growing petition on change.org... Ban racists for life from all football matches in England. https://www.change.org/p/football-a...eb-abf7-299d14b9b0b2&use_react=false&v2=false
I know a man, a big cricket fan and self proclaimed racist who was watching Yorkshire on the telly about five years ago. Yorkshire had a player (you'll have to excuse me here, as I know nothing about cricket) but we had a batsman making lots of runs. Racist cricket fan watching the telly shouted out "Go on my son"! The lad making these runs for Yorkshire was a turban wearing Indian. I didn't need to say a word. I just looked him the eye and he couldn't possibly have looked more embarrassed.
True, but that's up to the authorities to deal with. As OLM said, the Police stood by and did nothing. That needs to change.
