You need a reality check.

Stuff happens more often than not at most stupid soccer matches...nothing like the hooliganism at German Turkish and British games!

A totally different situation at this concert.

A few clowns at a soccer match versus thousands including a Croat political leader doing the goose-step...sanctioned by the Croat government...

WOW!!!

Big difference.

No, reality and I are well acquainted, thanks. You guys, however, seem to be having a really hard time with it.

And Spain’s too. I did note that this happens all over Europe I believe. The fact that there is racism at many nation’s soccer games does not mean that the Serb’s are magically not racist.

“A totally different situation at this concert.”

Not really.

Doing the goosestep? Sounds like their mocking it more than anything else.

“...sanctioned by the Croat government...”

True. Then again, the recent past has shown the Serb government (Yugoslavia rump state) sanctioned some less than savory things as well, right?

“WOW!!! Big difference.”

Not really. I don’t think of any particular spot in the Balkans as particularly enlightened. Many of these little countries are less than savory in their recent histories.
