Russia's Racism. . . . Is The 2018 WC A Joke? by phreakabit(m): 6:18pm On Oct 24, 2013
Based on what I have seen and read repeatedly, with the most recent episode occurring just yesterday, it is evident that the curious and bizarre case of racism in Russian sports (and the entire country) is on the rise. . . A "situation" that completely contradicts and discredits what the Russian press wants the world to believe. With that said, I still find it hard to believe that almighty WHITE FIFA chose Russia to be the host of the 2018 WC. . . The same country that refuses to fine its fans for issuing death threat to a play of their own club simply because of the colour of his skin? I really don't have time to expatiate any further on this matter right now, however I'd like to ask what action do you think African teams should take in the event of the occurrence of racist abuse during the WC.

My suggestion would be to walk-off the pitch and boycott the WC if strict punishment/sanction are not imposed.

Anyways here are some links that should make for an interesting read.
