Heskey

[Garrod!]

I see that Heskey was subject to racist chants again. FFS When will UEFA and FIFA actually do something about this??

Eastern europe is very white, and so obviously racism is more acceptable.

Same as why Spanish and italians are more racists than english, french or portuguese.

Its just social reasons.

It's funny how it always happens to Hesky and none of the other black lads.

Edit - Just thought id point out not in the haha way incase anyone misunderstood what i ment.

Thinking about it on this occasion I guess Heskey was singled out because he is black and not mixed race like Rio, A.Cole, Theo etc. Don't forget the Croatian star is indeed Eduardo and with him being mixed race too, it would have been an offence to him, as well as the England stars, should a mixed race player be jeered for skin colour. This happens alot with many countries we play. Their star player is of Brazil origin attaining a passport for whoever. They will more than likely be of mixed race origin, so fans may tend to steer clear of jeering them. A player like Heskey is also on the team and because he is extremely different in skin colour to everyone on the other team, he gets the jeers and monkey chants. Quite sad to still see some nations remaining 20 years or so behind us but then again we have become used to seeing black players over these decades, as well as the thousands of pounds invested in 'Kick Racism out of Football' campaigns.
