Doing a massive racism doesn’t matter because someone else might also do a racism. Interesting concept.

Except there is no evidence there are more people in this story than man city fans per day calling into talk sport to say why raheem sterling is a bad person because of a tattoo

Why would Man City fans give out about Sterling's tattoo?

Also, there are years and years worth of evidence showing Zenit fans being racist.

Look, that group of zenit ultras is on the record as a bunch of racist xenophobes hiding in a cloak of wanting to "preserve the tradition of Zenit signing and developing working class players from St.Petersburg".

BUT, that click-bait article that got circulated by multiple publications implied something that simply did not happen, which of course no-one wanted to go deeper into verifying because the default view for most western football fans is "yeah no poo poo russians are racist".

I know, no-one will read this, but if anyone is curious about the contentious history of the Virage ultras, here is a good write up:

Che storia figata, ragazzo!




My family over there haven't gone to the stadium in years, even less so for the derby, because of this sort of bullshit. Some gently caress up videos going around about some guy getting his head caved in (didn't watch but heard about it). Also a really heartbreaking photo of one of the dead fan's phone with a bunch of worried texts from his dad, hosed up poo poo all around.

Accepting some racism because not everyone is racist.

All of your posts read as “Racism! Who cares?!”.

You, like the club, seem to be willing to entertain racism by placing some imaginary distance between yourselves and the “ultras” without actually doing anything about it. How about start by denouncing racism? Calling it out? Has the club banned anyone for their racism?

Instead, as the article shows, it’s tolerated and accepted because maybe it’s just fanaticism, or a vocal minority, or “tradition,” or lost in translation, or a joke.

Keep making excuses.

I don’t think vivisectvnv is saying that that group of ultras is good or that he supports them just that they exist and that it’s not the entire stand full of supporters that are doing this, like some of the other articles linked imply.

Of course the club should be doing something about it and other supporters should be denouncing; I don’t think anyone here is so thick to not understand that.

That's literally the replies of some people in here though. Pointing out there weren't any photos to support the claims got me labeled a far right conspiracy theorist.

Yeah but you were also going off on tangents about orange book liberals and Man City fans so we'd need a phd in being a massive loving idiot to understand what you were trying to say.

A consultant hired by the team, environmental firm EE&G, recently completed soil testing that found contamination levels at twice the allowable limit for arsenic. Barium and lead levels also exceeded legal limits. The crud, including debris at shallow depths, kept showing up over the course of more than 140 soil samples taken in recent months.
