This is nuts. I'd pull my whole team off the field and force the league to do something.

It really is awful and shocking. Can be really bad in Europe. You can read about weekly incidents in Italy, etc.

I look at it differently. It wasn’t that many years ago, like maybe 4-5, that racist chants got zero coverage...

Blacks should boycott the Italian leagues and any other league that doesn't harshly punish fans & clubs that do this

It doesn't help when the Italian league does things like this to prevent racism

Ironic that such a global sport can suffer from such parochial maladies.

It’s probably because it’s global sport that it suffers these racial issues.
