Are all the Czechs in the Rangers FC and Glen Kamara case in the same boat?
Rangers FC are probably the least popular foreign football club in the Czech Republic. In the spring, it was kicked off by a controversial match on Scottish soil between the home team Riders and Prague Slavia.
Rangers FC are probably the least popular foreign football club in the Czech Republic. In the spring it started with a controversial match on Scottish soil between the home Rangers and Prague Slavia. The story continued in Prague, where Rangers FC took on Sparta.
You have probably read enough about the whole story, which revolves around the alleged racism against Glen Kamara, which is being escalated by his lawyer Aamer Anwar and British media channels.
One thing is certain, there are two divisive camps facing each other. First and foremost, it is Rangers FC fans and the British media, and by extension, a certain section of the British population.
On the other side is the Czech public, but are all Czechs in the same boat? Or are there those who find the behaviour of the children’s audience inappropriate/unfortunate?
According to the social network Twitter, it seems that the vast majority of the Czech public is of the same opinion, but there are exceptions, it is simply not possible to generalise.
Public reaction! Are we in the same boat?
This is how Radek Příhoda, the head of Czech referees and a recognized expert, tweeted. The journalist of Seznam Zprav, Michael Durčák, also commented a lot on the whole situation and sent several tweets.
” Let’s declare war on Britain. They have no petrol, the shops are empty, we can’t lose this.”
” I don’t even want to think what will happen in Britain when they find out that Czech kids are playing the card game ‘Black Peter’ and the bottom line is that nobody wants him…””
But to underline the clear point that we are not all in the same boat after all, it must also be pointed out that there are people in the Czech Republic who definitely do not approve of children’s booing at Glen Kamara.
