Russians hate black people on ice

Russian fans throw bananas when Worldstars forward Anson Carter on the ice

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (CP) - Bananas were thrown by spectators when Worldstars forward Anson Carter was on the ice Sunday.

Twice during a 5-4 win over a Russian all-star team, the game officials had to retrieve a banana or a banana peel from the ice.

"It's no big deal," said Carter, who is black. "I'm not surprised - look around."

Carter, 30, who is from Toronto, is under contract to the NHL's Los Angeles Kings.

The incidents occurred on a day when the English-language St. Petersburg Times had a front page story about attacks on ethnic minorities in the city.

Such racial taunts have plagued European soccer in recent months.

In Spain, an anti-violence commission has asked the country's soccer federation to begin urgent disciplinary proceedings against national coach Luis Aragones, who made a racist comment about Arsenal's French striker Thierry Henry in October.

There was also racist abuse by Spanish fans at a Champions League game between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in late November, and black English players were jeered by Spanish fans in a friendly between the two countries in Madrid on Nov. 17.

In England, three men appeared in court last Thursday accused of racially taunting black soccer star Dwight Yorke during a Blackburn-Birmingham game last month.

Also last month, a man was fined 1,000 pounds ($2,220 Cdn) and banned from soccer grounds for the maximum five years for also racially taunting Yorke.

So profound...


Lol, sorry. 😛

I don't judge a man by the color of his skin, I judge a man by the size of his nostrils. I think Chevy Chase said that on SNL many moons ago.

Seriously though, those idiotic things happen in countries outside of US and Canada. Sad..

I cannot believe the connection needs to be explained. Not that I subscribe to that line of thought, I'm just saying.

What the hell is the point? Russians hate him because he's a black hockey player? I have no idea why someone would take the time to bring a banana to a game just to throw it. Do people really have nothing better to do with their time?

the connection is:

black people are dark, monkeys are dark
black people come from africa, the origin of mankind, so they thought to be "closer" to the common ancestor to monkeys and man.
