This has rankled for a while but I have no hesitation now in congratulating UEFA for putting up such a great tournament for white spectators. The awarding of the tournament to a particularly dodgy Ukraine highlighted the racist sentiments still prevailing in this part of the world. When it comes to taking action, UEFA displays customary Blatterism to dither and dally, rather than taking affirmative action against the chanting and other unsavory acts. Due to this, the audience is a sea of white faces, and a lost opportunity for advancing the social agenda. With people like these, it is no wonder that Europe is in the mess it is today.
