It's been already done, giggzy. Apart from the usual assholes that are hidden at the Olimpico just like everywhere, nothing related to racism has ever appeared among Lazio fans since 1999.
I post again my words of two weeks ago:
I only get upset when issues are not spoken with judgement or after reading fake, partial and adulterated sources. And when it comes to racism, the easiest thing is to BRAND somebody or worse an entire people of fans (more than 2 millions Lazio supporters in Italy) with that horrible nazist image, because of a few stupid racists (like elsewhere in the world) raised some vomit-like banners, the latest 2 years ago. I repeat it again: when they saw what press could do to an entire community of fans, the leaders of Irriducibili ordered a halt to any booing, although they still think it was meant to be a way to deconcentrate black players and not to stress a racial difference or insult. They gave up also because the rest of the stadium whistled at them, so they thought it over and decided to be intelligent. Still, sometimes a few people keep booing opposite players, whites mainly, to show in a ironical way how exaggerated where the titles on the media about this issue. And while other clubs REALLY have racist problems (i.e. Verona), still Lazio is linked with these facts, abroad. But only if one witnesses this non racist athmosphere by himself at Olimpic Stadium, will the truth prevail.
What I can do, as a single fan, is to spread the real news through forums like this.
