Dunny recently wrote this story about some of the problems French Football has been experiencing with racism lately. It’s a sad state of affairs that these people use soccer as a platform to try and cause problems and bring attention to themselves. Seems like the clubs should do more to ensure that these fans don’t get in to the stadiums right? Well after reading a couple of articles on the subject, I came across this completely moronic piece of French law. Apparently the law goes something like this. Clubs can only ban people from entering stadiums if they are caught actually breaking the law, not for being racist or making racist remarks. According to Metz’s security chief, Jacky Ancel, “you can ban people from entering nightclubs but nor from entering the stadiums.” Apparently there are only 80 people in France banned from stadiums in England, while at the same time there are over 3,500 banned from stadiums in England, this according to Frédéric Thiriez, the president of the French league. Why this outdated, archaic law still exists like this is beyond reason. French football has experienced some tremendous highs and a resurgence in the last 10 years or so. If this problem doesn’t get fixed, not only will French football suffer, but the country as a whole will be affected. For more info check this story.
