I was watching this video about how elite black soccer players were being taunted on the field while in a game. The video clearly shows direct racism from the fans, even from the fans of the team the black player is playing for. Again, this relates to the racism aspect of the Secret River. I think this is wrong and should be addressed not only by the soccer community but also by everybody. One thing I also noticed about this Youtube page is that the comments of the video is just like a racism war with people calling each other names such as “apes” and “pigs”. This video was posted in the year 2006 but the latest comment was one hour ago. This shows how racism is a very serious problem with people having lots to say about the matter that would last years...4 years in fact. If you read through some of the comments in the video, the people wrote things not even related to the video itself. They missed the point of why the video was made which really makes me sad. THEY NEED HELP.
