Ronaldinho racially abused

Mexico City: Mexican football got a boost in September when former Brazil and Barcelona star Ronaldinho, a two-time FIFA player of the year, joined modest local club Queretaro. The upbeat mood didn’t last long. Even before he had played his first match, he was the subject of a racist attack, the kind that has become common for black soccer players across Europe. Mexico has a history of racism on the pitch. But it was largely overlooked until the arrival of Ronaldinho. Racism in Europe often involves white against black. Just after the Ronaldinho incident, Colombian player D Pabon of the Monterrey club heard fans calling him an “ape” in a match in the central city of Leon. The club said it would investigate. By the end of October, the club had not announced the results of its investigation. (AFP)
