01:36: everyone's a little bit racist, but c'mon!
many of my friends know that i am no big fan of english football. certainly, importing coaches and players from outside of the uk has improved the premiere league; you can see the change in arsenal and chelsea. but personally, i always thought english football was rather lame. the other european leagues are faster and more creative. spain holds a special spot in my heart, so you know who i would have cheered for at the england-spain friendly last thursday. good thing they didn't televise the game. i was appalled by the crowd's reactions. you can read about it here, or just read on.
i caught clips of the game and was horrified to hear the madrid crowd making monkey noises whenever england's black players handled the ball. some say that had the game been hosted at any other stadium, things would not have been the same. they say that fans at the bernabeu are the notorious "ultra sur". nuh-uh, i don't think that's all there is to it. i also saw clips of the national coach, aragones, shouting in spanish during training and telling his players to "not mind those black (bleep)." now, the spanish federation has apologized. but aragones refused to follow suit. instead, he made some comment about the brits being colonizers.
hijodeputa... like they aren't colonizers? like they didn't abuse my country's resources for four hundred years? like they didn't call us monkeys? like they didn't take some of our natives from the north and take them to their country to literally be put on display? fuck you, thank you for reminding me why i hate that i have spanish blood in me. don't feed me that crap! football na nga lang, may racism pa.
having said that, yes, i will still watch spanish football. are you kidding me? both real madrid and barcelona are in good form for el derby this weekend. i've been waiting for this game since i saw barcelona's line-up at the start of this season. way too good to miss!
