Comments on: Spanish fans didn't deserve a victory http://www.thebadrash.com/2006/06/29/spanish-fans-didnt-deserve-a-victory/ Barcelona & Catalonia blog covering politics, culture, society and more Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:20:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Nicholas http://www.thebadrash.com/2006/06/29/spanish-fans-didnt-deserve-a-victory/#comment-383 Nicholas Fri, 30 Jun 2006 09:25:13 +0000 http://thebadrash.com/?p=516#comment-383 I was pretty disgusted to read about this too. The extent of racism at football matches in Spain is one of the worst aspects of the society. As Graeme says, The Spanish Football Federation constanly turns a blind eye to the problem or dishes out paltry fines. I think the best way to deal with it would be to suspend fans from supporting their team in the stadiums for a while. Incidently, I wrote an article about this issue a while back <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicholasmead.com/?p=23">here</a>. I was pretty disgusted to read about this too.

Hopefully Luis Aragones will disappear from the scene now, he was given another chance during the World Cup to put things right on his remarks about Henry, and as usual chose to make things worse. The Federation in Spain is completely useless on most things, but especially on this - and UEFA always seem very forgiving in its attitude when they hand out the €500 fines. Next time it happens in Spain the players affected should walk - that will force the hand of the Federation.
