Eu: Meps Sign Up To Fight Racism In Football
2006-03-15
The European Parliament are set to adopt on Tuesday a resolution - endorsed by a record number of MPs from across the political spectrum - to tackle racism in football.
Boy, it's a good thing they don't have anything more serious than that to worry about...
The declaration calls on football governing bodies, leagues, clubs, players and fans to do more to fight racism in football, ahead of the World Cup taking place in Germany in June. A total 423 out of 732 MEPs have now signed the declaration, a spokesman for Dutch Socialist MEP Emine Bozkurt, one of five MEPs who initiated the resolution, told Adnkronos International (AKI). It urges the European football association UEFA and other competition organisers to take a tougher sanctions against racist abuse on and off the pitch, and demands new powers for referees.

#4  Why not simply have all 22 players kick the ball into the same undefended goal. This would remove the source of conflict, foster international cooperation, and create goodwill?

Everyone could then head down the pub waving EU flags for a non-alcoholic beverage. Don't wanna offend the Muzzies...

#3  I have an idea, just make all opposing viewpoints illegal. That way if someone says something you don't like, you just call them a(n) apostate criminal and have them deported to Belgium.

#1  I don't think you can really legislate out, well, assholes being assholes under the influence of football. That's what you have stringent enforcement for.
