I'd like to think the people of PS would stand up and be counted if they heard anyone spouting racist bile towards any players/supporters.
Let's make sure we stamp this out by telling those who decide to use football to spread their hate, we aren't tolerating it and they're not welcome. Get them kicked out/arrested.
Who's with me? |  |

That’s the problem, how can some racism be deemed lesser? |
singing anti welsh songs isn't racist, and it's no different to us singing anti english songs. |  |

please tell me you are not trying to compare the two here. |
When is racism not racism?
Or xenophobia not xenophobia?
When it is accepted as normal by the side being abused and then everybody else and it becomes the norm. |  | | |

Personally I don't think it can ever be stopped as humans are "tribal" let alone racist and always will be.
But just because you don't like someone there is no need to vocalise it.
One major problem is drink lowering inhibitions and civility bringing out the worst in people.
The other problem that is no longer talked about is excessive male pheromones in the atmosphere when there are large groups of excited men.
I don't know what happened to those studies. | | | |

There a certain times where people make racism worse.
One example I’ll give you is the edited video from the Tory party conference a few months ago where Johnson refused to shake hands with three black fellas.
It doesn’t help the fight at all in my opinion. |
But Johnson is a massive racist. It ok though, it's funny old Boris. |  |

Why doesn't it happen in rugby or cricket, boxing etc? |  |

The pond life that still think making monkey noises at football grounds are being brought to book make no mistake.
Same goes for homophobic references.
Your days are numbered.
Think on morons. |  |

Racism is always racism, xenophobia is always xenophobia.
‘Always shit on the English side of the bridge’ etc are neither.
‘You black/English/Welsh......’ is a completely different matter. | | | |

Different audience Neath. Funny thing is some support more than the one sport, but keep certain attitudes for football. Perplexing. | | | |

Yeah I do think we need a sense of perspective though. Every weekend hundreds of thousands of people go to matches up and down the country. The huge majority, probably 99.9% are decent, well behaved people who just want to watch a game of football and most matches pass off without incident with only a few arrests usually alcohol related.
We’ve had a couple of idiots in a 60000+ crowd and there’s talk of a big racism problem in football, and even talk of national inquiries. It’s a bit over the top. |  |

Precisely. One thick clown in a crowd of 60,000
and suddenly there’s a sense that it’s a big problem in football. It’s not. Not any more it’s not. What happened is wrong and hopefully the culprit will be dealt with severely but the over reaction has been out of proportion to what was an isolated incident in that game. | |

1 in 60,000 is too much. It is a problem. | |

With continued strict punishment, raising of awareness and now government involvement these incidents will hopefully continue to reduce even further. Agree that one incident is one too many but let’s put it into some sort of perspective. It was a real “problem” in football in the 1970s. Things have improved considerably and long may that continue. | |

All credit to the North East for not rising to Sterling’s provocation in the FA Cup last year. Would have been all too easy for a couple of idiots to kick off with some racist shit. A cheat is a cheat. |  |

It’s quite interesting to see the lefties on twitter today bringing up Johnson’s letter box comment after the government vowed to do something about it.
They all seem to have missed Gary Neville having a go a Corbyn for it too. | |

I can't remember the last time I heard any racist comments at a Swans match.It's a non issue at our club |
Obviously not, Badlands has confirmed it still sadly goes on regularly. | |

I agree, I think the %age is probably nearer 99.99%, just a few individuals who get carried away and think they are clever. | | | |

Some clubs have a bigger problem than others and some of them aren't just being clever, they are racist.
Many of them though are probably just drunk and stupid. Not that casual racism because of alcohol is ok. | |

I’ve never heard a racist shout at the Liberty from a Swans fan either and I haven’t heard one from a Swans fan at an away game for years either. | |

I've never heard any racism around me. Are we talking about those West Stand hooligans and their hip flasks full of raw polish vodka again? Rowdy bastards. |  |
