Fans point out chanting racist after Bundesliga match

COTTBUS, Germany (AP) -- Fans of Energie Cottbus pointed police to a man chanting racist insults against Cameroon forward Francis Kioyo following a Bundesliga match.



The club thanked the fans Sunday for their "exemplary moral courage" in the latest incident of racist taunting in German stadiums. It pledged to ban the man from the stadium and take legal action.



Kioyo and other players said they heard the racist chanting during Saturday's 0-0 draw against visiting VfL Bochum.



Energie Cottbus is located in the economically depressed former East Germany -- where many of a recent spate of fan violence, accompanied by racist and anti-Semitic chanting, has taken place.



German soccer authorities have fined several clubs and warned they will be penalized points in the standings if they can't control their fans. Experts report a surge of far right wing sympathizers in the country's stadiums.

<DIV>While in Jamaica, fans can make racist remarks and noises at our NPL matches and we think it's okay.</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>What's my problem, anyway? When Las May caricatured the Haitian boat people in blackface, where were the usual protesters who found so much fault with Portia's recent portrayal? Instead, we get people defending it or making silly statements about what colour are Haitians, anyway.</DIV>

Las May been drawing black people time and again, you are the only one I hear complaining about how he depicted the Haitians.

Suh ... show us that drawing.

Let us deal with the dumbness of that question first. Have you taken the time to look up what "blackface" means? Do that first!

i had an interesting experience aboard a bus from the berlin olympiastadion after the brasil croatia match. the buses were free and the on which i was on was full when a german fella came on board...the driver told him it was full and that he could not come on board as he would not leave. the fellow refused to leave and the people on the bus expelled him.
