Marc Zoro suffers another bout of racial abuse from Inter Milan fans

April 3rd, 2006 | By: Ade Lamidi | 3 Comments »

The racial abuse of black players continues and Italian based Ivorian, Marc Zoro endured another bout of it when his Italian team Messina played Inter Milan at the weekend.

Marc Zoro’s every touch was met with a chorus of monkey chants from a large section of Inter fans during a Serie A match at the San Siro.

This new incident comes just three weeks after Fifa outlined a new framework of sanctions for clubs with racist fans.

Under the new Fifa system, clubs found guilty of failing to prevent their supporters from abusing opposing players on racial grounds could be docked three points for a first offence, six for a second and even relegated in the case of repeated incidents.

Personally, I think these people are a disgrace to themselves, as their team (Inter Milan) also has coloured players.

It was not the first time Zoro has been targeted by Inter fans as he endured the same treatment when Messina played Inter Milan earlier in the season.

Just terrible. But no matter the amount of sanctions or fines, the racism won’t stop. It’s just their nature. Sad really.

People must be educated. Its not their nature, its their parental influence, their friends influence and their own idotism.

Not only their club should be penalised, but cops should put them in jail. Put 10 in jail per game and they might become shy to display such idiot behaviour.
