Eg A recent TV programme about Liverpool FC, had Black footballer Howard Gayle commenting on abuse from the opposing fans(Bayern Munich). He said that it "inspired him". The aim of the chants was to try and put him off. White players have also been taunted, but they are just expected to put up with it.
Football's a tough environment with coin-throwing, abusive shouting and previously, banana-throwing. And racist chants are rife in some countries still.
But I'm sure you're not suggesting that black players get an easy ride but white players are expected to just grin and bear it?
