Children cause racism scandal in Prague

Glasgow player Glen Kamara has been racially insulted again. In the Europa League game away from Sparta Prague this time, not on the opponent’s lawn, but by children in the stands. The midfielder was booed on Thursday evening in the 1-0 victory for the Czechs by 10,000 young Slavia fans every time they hit the ball, and according to media reports they also insulted him in a racist manner.

Due to a similar incident in the Sparta game against AS Monaco (0: 2), in which the dark-skinned Monaco player Aurelien Tchouameni was insulted several times by Prague supporters, the duel against the Scots should be played in front of empty grandstands. The Czech series champion suggested, however, that 10,000 children between the ages of six and 14 and their supervisors should be allowed into the stadium with a special permit. But these also attracted attention through racism.

Kamara had been hit by a racist incident before. Last year, after a game against Slavia Prague, he accused the opposing player Ondrej Kudela (34) of a “horrific racist insult”. As a result, UEFA suspended Kudela, who played everything, for ten games. In the game against Sparta Prague, by the way, he was excluded this time in the 74th minute with yellow-red.
