Absolutely unacceptable...
Fifa probes Spanish racist chants
The powers that be need to sort this out & take severe action against Spain; it was only a couple of weeks ago that the Spanish coach, Luis Aragones, was caught making racist remarks about Thierry Henry & tried to trivialise it as a joke. he should have been sacked. In any other walk of life he would have been - and possibly charged. The Spanish players themselves should try & do something about it - surely it is abhorrent to them? You can be charged at an Old Firm game for singing sectarian songs - and quite rightly so - but the national coach of Spain gives a half hearted apology & it's OK? Naw! With the publicity that this has been given, if the governing bodies of football do nothing about it, it will become de rigeur on the terraces throughout Europe.
Franco's legacy...
