Racism in German football

[fyds]

Despite what some think, you have to be vigilant about this because it's never far below the surface.

Racist abuse should be met with severe police action - and not just in Germany

 

batons first?

Oh yes, Mr Baton and his chums at full charge I'd say.

Good on the lad. Wish I'd seen it myself.

 

I'm surprised that St. Pauli fans allowed Chemitz fans to get away with that kind of behaviour. St. Pauli is known for its anti-facist and anti-racist fans.

Mr Baton should be introduced along with Mr German Shepherd.

He meant "white millionaires", though.

[Ripley]

is this the same Germany that still doesn;t allow 3rd generations Turks to claim german citizenship?

Not true

[SkippyjonJones]

Not true

 

maybethats just my "I can read the big print in the media" impression of the situation.

whats the story then?

[fyds]

Do you mean in Germany specifically?

Not at all, unfortunately - it's still there in Holland too as well as Spain etc. What I meant was that type of mindset that finds it acceptable - even a sort of perverse cultural 'right' - is still alive and kicking and we shouldn't relax beacuse on the whole things have improved (at least for now) here.

Batons, water cannons, attack dogs, "robber billets", etc. - you get the general idea.

From an official source:

 

So not perfect, by any means, but a fair stride forward from the "Blut und Boden" system that you seemed to think still applied.

 

I'd be interested in the official source, as I've been looking for a few reliable sources on this.

 

Also , as far as I'm aware, the "Blut und Boden" idea still applies - hence my above flippant post regarding Russians - This new development was described on one of the sites I read as a "supplement" to the law.

But, as you say, definitely a step in the right direction.

Rules me out then!

Thankfully that particular legal 'philosophy' has gone the way of the last remnants of the Nuremburg laws.
