So the monkey chants continued with this game.
It was blatant, but yet another loophole was used since the referee did not mention it in his match report.
It's ridiculous to think that referees are being held accountable for this - when they are already responsible for so much on the field. If the authorities had any vested concern in solving racist acitivity at games, then they would dispatch relevant controls in dealing with the problem as they occur in the stands.
It's sad to see nothing is being done to curb the problem in Spain. I believe UEFA and club level is inept of solving the racism problem, and some serious considerations need to be made by FIFA, if not, the International community in dealing with the problem.
I really like the Spanish international team, their brand of football and some of the exciting players (Torres, Villa, Fabregas, etc.) ... but it's really hard to pull for them, as it means validating their team's successes to the National Association that runs them - the one that ultimately backed Aragones when he made disparaging comments about Henry based on race; and the one who overlooks the game in their country and fails to act decisively on events such as this.
