The British media is clear: Booing Kamara is racist, something must change in Prague

Due to the racist incident against Monaco, Sparta had to close the stadium, so 10 000 children under 14 years of age were able to get to Letná. They greeted Glen Kamara with boos, which is considered racist in Britain.

Due to the racist incident against Monaco, Sparta had to close the stadium, so 10 000 children under 14 years of age were able to get to Letná. They greeted Glen Kamara with boos, which is considered racist in Britain.

It started from the first touch of the ball. When Glen Kamara took the ball for the first time, the children in the audience let out loud whistles and boos. It reminded the Finnish midfielder of the Ondrej Kudel case, in which he changed his statement four times and punched a Slavie defender in the locker room and ran away.

It is quite logical that he did not garner any sympathy in the Czech Republic. Just like the whole Rangers team with coach Steven Gerrard. But once again the British media is trying to cover up the defeat with racism.

“Really sad scenes in the Europa League right now. Sparta fans racially abused Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni and had to have the stadium closed. UEFA decided to let 10,000 children go to the Rangers game with supervision. Those kids, all under the age of 14, booed every time Glen Kamara touched the ball. Something has to change. This must not happen,” wrote the SPORTbible Instagram page with 5 million followers.

Steven Gerrard, the Rangers coach, feels the same way. “I’m disappointed but not surprised. We need facts, we need evidence that this happened before I comment. If they really did attack Glen, it’s disappointing because that’s why the kids were here,” he said at a news conference.

In the same vein, The Athletic also commented. “Kamara, who was the victim of a racist attack in March, was targeted again by fans during the Sparta match, even though the stadium was supposed to be closed. Kamara was booed every time he touched the ball because of the incident with Kudela, who was given a ten-match ban for a racist incident at Ibrox.”

The statement was not missed by Kamara’s lawyer Aamer Anwar, who likes to attract publicity.

“When I heard about the closure of Sparta Prague’s stadium, I hoped that Glen and other black players would not face insults and racism and would simply be able to play football. Even though their fans were banned, it didn’t matter that the stadium was filled with 10,000 schoolchildren. A large number of these kids booed every time Glen and all the other black Rangers players touched the ball. Today showed once again that Prague has a serious problem with racism, and as usual UEFA is not responding,” Anwar wrote on his Twitter account.
