Racism par Excellence



Last night after a UEFA Cup game between Paris St. Germain & Hapoel Tel Aviv a brawl resulted with the death of one and injury of another after being shot by the police. The incident at a McDonald's near the Parc des Princes stadium occurred after Hapoel Tel Aviv's 4-2 victory over PSG. The officer, - who happens to be a black man - was trying to protect a french Hapoel Tel Aviv fan set upon by some 150 PSG supporters. He lobbed tear gas when the crowd went after him then fired two shots, "having been driven into a corner," police said.

Hooliganism, overt racism and fan violence have plagued PSG and, more generally, French football, attackers hurled 'Sale Juif, Sale Negre, Vive La France'
