LOL, England is just as bad.

2-4 incidents already with black players and english crowds with racism. And the season just got started for fricks sake.


Yes a couple English idiots vs entire sections yelling racist shite is very comparable

If the entire Stretford end or Kop started making monkey noises at black players they would be closed in a heart beat

Being opposed to racism and fascism isn’t a “political position,” any more than being opposed to murder and assault is a “political position!”

America—love it or leave it!

Jeez, this isn’t the worst worded article ever

quote:

But two die-hard soccer fans in Utah say Major League Soccer's Real Salt Lake asked them to take down a Betsy Ross flag they were waving in the front row at a recent match because the team dubbed the star-spangled banner a "symbol for hate groups."

No they just didn’t allow these people to fly the Betsy Ross Flag
Still ridiculous but they still sing the star spangled banner before games

Which is another thing, different sport but why the frick does not everyone still do the god bless America for the 7th inning stretch?
The Yankees play it at every game.
I’ve been to a few stadiums that do not

It's a horribly written race baiting article.

I looked up the author and well, pretty much expected.

I did see where Portland also banned a antifa flag.

When everything is classified as racist and fascist, your worldview is actually more akin to that of a fascist. I mean MLS just banned a couple from flying a flag that was flown prominently at Barack Obama's 2012 inauguration for being racist. We're through the looking glass here.

The Betsy Ross flag isn't magically racist just because some dickwagon like Kaepernick wants to pretend that it hurts his feelers.

Real Salt Lake DIAF.

Completely unrelated: Real salt lake? What a (yet another) stupid name for an MLS team... All the "Real, FC, Inter, etc." bullshite just chintzes up MLS and reinforces the fact that its a joke of a league.

This ain't Madrid for fricks sake.

Couldn't agree more. Then they try to steal a fricking "tradition" from other European teams. Shits pathetic and not something I'll ever want to be a part of.

Like Minnesota "United" singing Wonderwall like they are Man City. So fricking pathetic.

couple, lol

Twitter is full of racist english people going after black footballers, week in week out.

Every other game and the racist shite flows from english football fans at black players. All it takes is 1 bad tackle, 1 own goal, 1 missed penalty,etc

It's as bad if not worse than the Eastern European fans and their racist stuff. It's gone from Some fans chanting shite, to chanting and relentless tweets at the players in England.

It's really bad in England with racism, you can deny or put your head in the sand, but it is the truth.

The main issue i have with MLS, is that it's 100% catered to the Hipster/SJW d-bags.

And you have BS like this, because of it.

Controversy erupts over Betsy Ross flag at RSL soccer game



lol

quote:

“At Real Salt Lake it is our mission to unify our community through soccer and we promote inclusion, diversity and acceptance. It is important that everyone in the community not only feel welcome at our stadiums, but appreciated, respected and valued. Rio Tinto Stadium is reflective of that on match day and we encourage a unifying and welcoming environment to all fans at all of our RSL and Utah Royals FC matches. To be permitted to bring a flag into any of our stadiums is a privilege. Recently, and very controversially as well as surprising to us, the Colonial flag has been adopted as a symbol for hate groups. Any controversial flags or other similar banners or signs with symbols of hatred, divisiveness and/or intolerance whether intentional or otherwise will not be permitted in our stadiums. Period.”

– Andy Carroll, Chief Business Officer, Real Salt Lake

Real salt lake logo features a crown symbol that clearly evokes imagery used by violent hate group and criminal street gang, the Latin Kings:



There should be demands that RSL not use their hateful evocative imagery. No more RSL crests. Stop the hate!

if it was that bad they'd play elsewhere... Not that fans are right for it but it's easier to change one player's circumstances than the mindset of a few thousand people
