Now BBC is very concerned about giving Poland as a country rights to organize the UEFA Euro 2012 because of hooligans that dubbed “the deep seated racism in the Polish football”.

Generally boring, but needs watching if you find following questions interesting:
- Why BBC reporter Mihir Bose is always asking questions in a manner that imposes answers? Are Polish people to dumb?
- Why selection of parties to talk to is so one-track?
Why don’t you show any actual match, all football shots are from library? Why don’t you ask fathers going to see Legia with children?
Oh, I see only had cheap flight ticket to Poland and tight time-line to prove your point of view on Poland and Poles that you brought with you… - Why you speculate on 15-20% football fans being fascists and never spoke to the Police?
IN POLAND FASCISM IS STILL A PUNISHABLE CRIME, unlike in the UK where you can obtain “Mein Kampf” without a problem. - Why the reporter didn’t speak with the Polish Police at all?
- And finally, why black player of Legia, Dickson Choto in his interview published
by one of the biggest Polish portal Onet says that his statements were used
deprived of context and manipulated by BBC - more here (in Polish).
This is is second class journalism if you need to lie to make-up your story and make it “flow”.
To slightly change the topic… now British hooligans.
I don’t believe that hooliganism in the UK doesn’t exist since 1996. You may find video amusing. And some shots are 2004 and 2005.
Well, is hooliganism in the UK eradicated?
If not, please shut up and practice first, then preach.

The fact that racism exists among British football supporters has no bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim that racism exists among Polish football supporters.
Britain has had a problem with racism and violence in football crowds for decades (although probably exaggerated). This doesn’t mean that Poland doesn’t have one too.
I think you do yourself a disservice by using such vitriolic language to attack an easy target that has little to do with the point. I for one would find your views more persuasive if you concentrated on presenting the facts that back up your objection. I would honestly like to know. I’ve heard a lot about Polish football violence but I have no clear idea of whether it’s a fact or not or whether it’s exaggerated.
