Associated Press wrote an ariticle about the racial abuse occuring in their annual UEFA championship series. The UEFA Championship is like Europe's superbowl, all of their premier teams from countries like England, Spain, and Italy compete for the title. English players especially are concerned about playing their qualifying games in Poland and Ukraine due to teams having players from countries like Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. Eastern Europeans have always been intolerant to people of color however it's rarely documented in history books due to the lack of confrontation between the two sides. England is bringing a police force of twenty-four to protect their sidelines and referees have the authority to end a match if fans are making racial insults to players. I thought this article was fascinating because I had no idea that Ukranians were intolerant of minorities.
