Not the First, and Probably Not the Last Look at Racism in Serie A - May 14, 2013
Our guest for the day is Italian football writer Kris Voakes who joins us to review yet another racially charged incident in Serie A over the weekend. The match between Roma and AC Milan was stopped momentarily to address the racist chants coming from a Roma supporters sections. It's not the first time this sort of thing has happen, and unfortunately, Voakes doesn't think it will be the last. Although plenty of opportunity to make a statement with Roma, it's fans and racism in football, Kris thinks that the reaction will fall short. Also, we try and sort out who came up with the god-awful gold kits for Milan.
