Football

This was an interesting post on a Chelsea forum:

What really annoys me about those idiots actions in Paris is that now
as black supporter of Chelsea I am having to defend myself to my black friends.
Here is a transcript of a Whatsup conversation I had a a Liverrpool
supporter. I think I managed to put him in his place.

Me: A friend of mine went to Spurs v Liverpool and when the Spurs
supporters coach arrived the Liverpool hooligans said we are only here
to get your black supporters. Brown I was at Palace v Man Utd a few
years ago and the United fans were racially abusing their own
supporters. Point is every club as their racist element.

Friend: Really.... Well this "friend" should have filmed it so the
world could see, as it stands you should feel ashamed as a black man
to follow such a club

Me: What a bizarre thing to say ! So I should let a few mindless
idiots drive me away from supporting my club ? Like Rosa Parks I stand
up to them not run away. I am proud to support a club that employed
the premier leagues first black manager. I was proud when the team
fielded 10 black players 4 years ago. I loved it when Eddie Newton was
assistant manager when we won the champions league and I am proud that
our director of football is black. When I go to games at least 4% of
the match day supporters are black.
