Euro 2012 frontline in battle with racism

THE DAILY STAR :: Sports :: Football :: Euro 2012 frontline in battle with racism: "Since the collapse of communist rule two decades ago, far-right groups have fed on and stoked social and ethnic tensions across the region.

They flourish among fans who worship England’s once-notorious hooligan “firms” (gangs) – a hardcore of 3,000-5,000 in Poland, a nation of 38 million, Rapacki estimates.

Besides abusing black players, far-right fans also chant anti-Semitic slogans or brandish neo-Nazi banners."
