Chelsea Racist?

Soccer - Barclays Premier League - Chelsea v Everton - Stamford Bridge
I read on some blog that Chelsea are racist. Are they, really? The above is a picture of the Chelsea team it doesn’t look like a racist team to me I have to say the team whilst looking ecstatic also look like a pretty mixed bunch.
Chelsea supporters are said by some to be racist. Are they, really? I don’t for one minute believe that Chelsea supporters mock or insult people of colour if they are wearing the blue. If however the person of colour is wearing any other colour than blue, is a good footballer and seen as a potential threat to Chelsea success that person of colour can expect everything from his colour, his wife or girlfriend, his sexual orientation and his parentage to be considered fair game.
You can bet your mortgage it will be racist but it won’t be racist alone. Oh no. Your Chelsea supporter will not have forgotten or lost sight of those players the world calls white and Chelsea supporters call the opposition. If the white person is wearing any other colour than blue is a good footballer and seen as a potential threat to Chelsea success that white person can expect everything from his colour, his wife or girlfriend, his sexual orientation and his parentage to be considered fair game.
Its not nice, its not pretty and very often in these days of politically correct waffle its not legal but it is football in the real world and it applies not alone to Chelsea but to every team in the UK and abroad. No stone will be left unturned as team supporters try everything short of running on the pitch and giving the opposition a good seeing to to ensure their sides victory. Not that running on the pitch hasn’t been tried but such invasions can have unfortunate repercussions for the beloved team: being kicked out of whatever tournament the incident occurred in being the first and most important.
Football the real thing not that wimpish American offering is not nice its of the heart and soul all over the world people understand that calling a teams supporters racist when the only colour that counts is that of the shirt the player is wearing is downright silly.
