honestly, that statement only gets thrown out there by people who want to bash the US and say the Europeans are more cosmopolitan or with-it or whatever. i think we all know it's bogus, right?The Lonious Monk;5837425 said:This is why I trip out when people claim Europe is less racist than the US. Really, fans in the US might say some racist shit too, but this mass scale racism at sporting events has been dead for decades here.

Probably doesn't help that ballotelli almost single handedly rescued AC's season, the man is incredibly talented, which probably adds to the hatred.

I used to watch Italian league when I went back to college back in the early 90's. U.C. Sampdoria was my favorite team back then. They won the Italian Cup that year (93/94) led by Ruud Gullit back when he still had dreads. I don't remember any monkey noises or anything like that during any of the matches I watched, so this must really be a recent phenom.

Balotelli has been dealing with severe forms of racism since he was a child. That's probably why he acts the way he does. Italians are nationalist and xenofobe. They still reference the Romans' past, eventhough their empire fell 1500 years ago. I won't say all Italians are the same, but alot of them are not too fond of black people and are not afraid to let their racism show. A politician called a black minister from Congo a monkey among other things just a few weeks ago.
Crazy thing is AS Roma doesn't even have the most racist firm in Rome. Lazio Roma has a rep for having one of the most racist firms in western Europe. Leagues in England, Germany and Holland to a lesser extent have successfully combatted racism in the stadiums through media campaigns, fining of clubs and repression by police. Southern and eastern European leagues, especially in countries like Russia and Ukraine, are notorious for their racism. Didier Drogba was racially abused by Turkish hooligans. That kinda surprised me because I have some Turkish and Kurdish friends didn't know Turks were racist like that.

Yeah they had a great team with Gullit, Mancini, Lombardo etc. back then. Racism was actually worse back then.

Bro, I have traveled all over the world and I can tell you, this one country (Russia) is one place I have absolutely NO desire to go to. I feel if I stepped foot in Moscow on some tourist shit, I would not come out of there un-scathed. Those neo-nazi/nationalist groups over there are NO joke. You are probably aware of this, but over the past few years they have been randomly attacking immigrants who live over there. Imagine you are just walking to the store to get eggs or something and all of a sudden you are jumped by 10-15 people, possibly to the point of death. Its ridiculous. I would love to be a team owner just to piss those racists bitches off..

Yeah Russia is real bad. An Angolan guy told me these black foreign exchange students can't leave their compound. Russian society condones those attacks and police is real lax. These skinheads even film their attacks and nothing happens to 'em. I've seen documentaries. They don't just attack blacks, but also Russian minorities like people from the caucasus region, people from central Asian republics like Kazakhstan and Russian Jews. I've been to alot of eastern European countries like Czech republic, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungaria and Greece, but I'd never set foot in Russia. Fuck these racist animals...
