Racism in football

Youtube is an American company and the first amendment to our Constitution protects our right to free speech. Here in America we are allowed to say what we want, its our basic right. Now, I am not saying that racism in any form is acceptable but freedom of speech is one of our most cherished values.

Like freedom of speech is unique and not the norm in most (if not all) democratic countries in the world?
 
But is calling someone a 'Nigger', freedom of speech? It's hardly a speech ffs!

Anyway - has anyone defined what freedom of speech means? Can you call your boss a count and keep your job in the states?

Can you tell the police you're an ISIS member about to blow yourself to oblivion and keep your life?

It is the norm. But it's not protected as explicitly by law as it is in the US. There's a difference.

If someone wants to ruin their reputation by saying idiotic things do we need a law to stop them from doing so?

Laws forcing such opinion to be expressed only in hidden groups can create further problems too. If my neighbour is a raging racist I would actually like to know. I would rather know than have him influence people with his opinions behind closed doors with no counter arguments being presented.

Losing your job after saying macaronic brick is not a freedom of speech issue. In fact it's a solution towards further marginalizing idiotic opinions, something we as people are quite capable of without involving punishment by the government. Much like FIFA/UEFA can punish international teams for their fans expressing their racist opinions, without any government getting involved.
 
So, getting back to that video of violence at Chelski v Kiev... what was going on, was it Kiev fans beating up black fans of Kiev or Cheatski or ?

looks like Kiev on Kiev

I do find it incredibly hard to believe that Chelsea fans were present for a racist incident and not involved in some way
 
A pal of mine was racially abused outside the ground today by a chelscum fan.

Got called a black clam by all accounts and it briefly kicked off just outside the Paxton around 2pm I believe. Scum bags.

The level of racism that is still so rife in football on the continent is astounding. With little done to combat it.

It makes the success domestically with stamping out racism all the more impressive.

But FIFA disbanded their racism taskforce, declaring the job was done.

And what a fine job they did. :)
 
It's going to take probably 5 to 7 thousand years before our species can put this behind them. We are all too tribal and dislike "outsiders" and as long as the people in charge can stay in control by setting us against one another nothing will change.
