's veto of the England team to play a friendly against Spain at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and the recent closure of the Vicente Calderon for the racist incidents that took place during a league match of the Champier has rekindled the debate in the media of our country about whether English or not we're racist.
The outcome of this debate, as always, has been embarrassing and not because we admit our condition as racist but the exact opposite. Not being able to recognize that in Spain we denotes a problem of racism as we understand those comments normal attitudes or actions, regardless of their degree of severity of the consequences, xenophobic connotations.
remember when not long ago the then national coach Luis Aragones "motivated" to one of their players with one comparing him to fellow players club shouting "Tell that black shit that you are better than him," and after the ridiculous fine imposed by the competition committee to keep up appearances in Europe, the whole country is positioned on the side of Aragones and excused his behavior by considering how to express this common, normal and to be a way to motivate any other player, and do not realize that it is precisely this sense of normalcy lies the root of the problem. If instead of black being the player that Luis Aragones referred, he had been white and Coruña, would we have considered normal and excusable a phrase like " Galician tell that shit that you are better than him" ? Is it necessary to race the shit out of a partner to motivate a player? really is that attitude that we should consider normal and not objectionable simply because it is part of our everyday life? Would not it precisely this latter which would to change? I think so. Greetings
