Talk:Ethnicity and association football

Stupid Article
What a stupid article! More like a piece of journalism than an encyclopedic entry. How can I propose removal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.113.199.109 (talk • contribs)

Moved from football culture
This page has the majority of it moved over from football culture to tidy up that article as it is too big at the moment. The name of this article may not be the most ideal, so ideas to change it will be well recieved. The introduction of this article may need a bit of an edit.

This page needs to have more references. It asserts some very bold claim but fails to back them up with any sources. Passages such as this one: In several countries, black players were often harassed by spectators; stories of players being pelted with racial slurs, chants, and even bananas were quite commonplace, could be true, but if so then surely if theese incidents were so commonplace references won`t be hard to find. But if they can`t be provided then the passage should be removed. The same goes for statements like: ''Unfortunately, in countries that do not otherwise have many immigrants of different race (such as many Eastern European countries), prejudice against hiring e.g. black football players still remains an issue, especially in the smaller clubs. This can be particularly distasteful when combined with a lack of decency shown by some football fans when they chant against the opposing team.'' and others. If you are going to accusse whole Eastern Europe of having issues with prejudices against players of certain backgrounds then you better quote some sources.
