The football community need checks and balance in order to correct all the wrong impressions associated with racism and other forms of racial discriminations.
It’s unfortunate that no matter the contributions of some races in the development of soccer and other sporting activities discriminations still remained on the high side.
According to the true story and experience from one of the greatest footballer in Africa Jay Jay Okocha in his recent interview expressed disbelief to the issue of racism in Europe.
“This is a true story about racîsm. When I first got to Germany, Europe, the rate of racîsm there was very high. Infact, I never knew I was blâck till I moved to Europe and so I thought of a lēgal way to pay them back. So I started dribbling them. Sometimes I would dribble all the defenders and the goalkeeper, reach the goal post, come back and double dribble all of them again before scoring just to show them bläck sũpremacy. I dribbled them so hard that some even ate grass.” Jay Jay Okocha said.
When you look at all these, you’ll understand why only one bläck footballer has ever won a Balon D’or even with the great football players Africa has produced over the years
