Racism, colonialism and nationalism cast a long shadow over soccer. So will the World Cup bring us together – or drive us apart?

  1. From a country who's main sport is hockey, we're kinda the odd ones out in the world. Our interest in the world cup is moderate at most. I was more interested in tge racism and human right abuses of it than the soccer. For us if you can play hockey, you're an honorary Canadian.

  2. Sports are about a territory, made up of a 'country' (some eye catching colours as well of course) and another predefined territory kicking a ball of air into a net, or some other movement within spatial boundaries. It breeds nationalism and division. And of course the concept of 'money'. From buying teams to betting.

  3. Football, soccer, call it what you will, will not change the effects of systemic racism. Case in point…look at the U.S. All of the sports have blacks, and sports like basketball, football, and for quite a while boxing, have been dominated by blacks, or are majority black when you look at the players. The sports may be integrated, but the many of the fans are still racists. Unfortunately, it is possible to be a non person of color, love LeBron James, and still hate black folks and people of color. As long a he’s winning for your city, or state, or even country (USA Olympic basketball team), you love him…but, daily, you can see people who look like him and still think of them as animals.

  4. Racism exists in all parts iof the world for minority groups. I was raised in an Island with 75% were black and racism against me was terrible by blacks. We all have some form of racism inside of us- despite what your mind says. This doesn't necessarily mean on skin color, however even your gender or sexual orientation.
