No, at the institutional level Italian football absolutely deserves to be singled out (which is what I did).

Things are not the same, it's disingenuous and contributes to the problem to play the "racism is everywhere" card.

Italy has problems at the organizational level that are far beyond what's seen in the sport in most of Europe's civilized societies.  

I agree. There are racists in every league, but again, the response of the league goes to show how much the league actually cares about this issue. This would never happen in the modern Premier League without severe punishments and/or arrests. In Serie A it's pretty much a "Who cares?" mentality

Yup and it's not like this is the first time Serie A or the Italian FA have punished a black player for being the VICTIM of racial abuse and refusing to continue to play.

That's the worst part of this most recent occurrence,dude getting punished for not wanting to put up with the abuse . They legit refused even appeals from the players association to rescind his suspension...

Sounding like the Russian FA

Fro :x,guess Mou wants to bully them physically

Surprised to see Mata,DDG and Tony on the bench...

Guess Romero is the official Europa keeper after all ,don't think DDG has played in any of the games

Glad to see Smalldini back,at least there's one backup CB on the bench

Tony V wearing the armband ,much deserved
