The SWG institute carried out a survey from January 24 to 26, questioning nearly 800 Italian people about racism in Italian stadiums. And some results are rather surprising, not to say revolting. Even if this does not represent the majority of supporters surveyed, nearly 18% consider that “make a monkey cry or throw bananas at black players” is acceptable and logical when supporting a football team. 18% think that “say ‘gypsy’ or ‘jew’ to a player” Or “insulting a player because of his nationality or origins” is normal.
The Italian championships have been affected by racism for several seasons. Romelu Lukaku, Kalidou Koulibaly, Dušan Vlahović and more recently Mike Maignan were all victims of monkey cries or racist insults in the middle of a Serie A match. In the rest of the survey, more than 50% of those questioned think that insulting his favorite team or one of his club’s players after a defeat is normal. 46% believe that insulting referees is also a logical consequence of being in stadiums.
