The video reflects on some of the worst moments in football. The moments when racism ruined the beautiful game. From monkey chants to throwing stuff at players on the pitch, the fans sometimes bring out the ugly side of us as a society.
What are the Worst Racist Moments in Football?
Racism goes beyond club football. Even in international games, there have been several instances of racism such as the ones shown in this video.
Mario Balotelli is one of the players who has been a victim of racism on several occasions.
Apart from Europe, racism also exists in other leagues and continents. Demba Ba faced racism in China, while Eboue was pelted and attacked by Besiktas fans. There is racism against races other than of African origin as well.
Moreover, racist remarks aren’t always by fans. Sometimes players face institutional racism as well. Recently, Pierre Webo was distinguished as a ‘black man’ by the fourth official while being a part of the coaching staff. As a result, the players walked out of the match.
