Racism and football fans
This is a chapter from the report 'Football Violence and Hooliganism in Europe' byMarsh, P., Fox, K., Carnibella, G., McCann, J. and Marsh, J. (1996) Football Violence in Europe. The Amsterdam Group. The full report can be viewed at http://www.sirc.org/publik/football_violence.html. Racism is a problem for football across Europe and is an important factor in the problem of football hooliganism itself. The actual extent of racism is virtually impossible to measure as detailed statistics in this context are almost non-existent. Nevertheless, acts of football disorder, especially on the international scene, have frequently been referred to as 'racist', or perpetrated by racist groups, and some clubs are now viewed as having an inherently racist support. In this section the various forms of racism will be considered, with emphasis on the role of extreme right-wing groups, as these have frequently been reported to be involved in football-related violence. The various campaigns and schemes designed to combat racism will also be considered.
