It's becoming a big industry now and people will be looking for it where it isn't actually there, but there will also be people who can't help themselves that will be making stupid copy-cat comments or reacting badly to stuff they've seen in the media. One way or the other, people can't get enough of racism, that's for sure, they love it, they love to get angry about it or get angry about people loving it. Bad news all round.

I agree with Elite. Racism is still a problem in the game but I think more people are now prepared to stand up to it resulting in it being reported more.
Out of curiosity mattpie, have you witnessed an upturn in discrimination at football matches?

Personally don’t feel qualified to say

Me too. I sat in the shower rocking back and forth for an hour after posting it!

Why is it a disturbing trend? I remember standing on the County Road with my dad in the 80's and someone was making Monkey noises and throwing bananas at Richard Young. Don't remember the police taking any action or it being reported just a bit of nervous laughter from some and silence from everyone else. Now it would be reported. We've actually come quite a long way.
