    Escalating Racism

    Another social media phenomenon perhaps?

    My wife came up with an interesting idea... don’t close stadia... just put admission prices up massively.... self policing might then take effect

    Portugal has a massive black population due to its trading past , especially in the big cities

    It's really surprising to hear that Portuguese football has a racism problem

    Spain ? Yes Italy ? Yes


    But Portugal

    Spain has a very small black population compared to france and portugal

    Madrid used to have a really bad racism problem , hardly surprising the fascist dictator franco used to rule from there

    This apparently from more expensive seating area rather than cheaper terraces. This seems the correct level of self-policing - getting stewards to remove them and then chanting anti-racist messages after - whereas your suggestion may embolden people to act more aggressively.

    More importantly what’s your point of view on the thread title? Is racism escalating in your opinion or just attracting more attention?

    If you understand the origin you can perhaps find a solution

    Isn’t this posted ironically because of people going on about black on black crime though?

    There’s a reason it doesn’t get shouted from the rooftops compared to the other way.

    It's easily fixed. If a player walks off, both teams walk off, the referees walk off, the coaching staff walk off until the racist is dealt with. It will soon stop.
