The Atleti Situation: Racism and Death threats by "fans"
This is not a post to bash the club or its values, it's a post to show a situation that has many of us fans of other teams tired of in la Liga.
I'm 26 years old and been a fan of Athletic Club since I was born, I have gone to practically all the stadiums in Spain (except Getafe and Tenerife), most of the fans are quite passionate but you can have fun with them, there isn't much bad blood, of course there are matches and matches, RM and BCN tease and pull each other's chain a LOT but at the end of the day things are fine, you didn't see Barcelona rioting for not winning the CL last year or Madrid rioting for lack of titles in a couple of years.
There are several famous rivalries in Spain besides RM and BCN: Espanyol and Barcelona, Atlético and Real Madrid and of course the Basque Derbi: Real Sociedad vs Athletic Club.
I think I'm used to see rival fans sitting together and having a beer while waiting for the match, I've gone to Anoeta decked head to toe in Athletic gear and no one has bashed or insulted me for it.
That's how we roll in Euskadi, you can sit with rivals without any single problem happening.
I've also gone to the two biggest Madrid stadiums: Santiago Bernabeu and Vicente Calderón, the first one is not exactly very friendly but you can work it out there, the Atleti stadium is simply unbearable.
They are known as the worst fanbase in Spain hands down, they scream bad things at players, are racists, kick fans in the stands, throw stuff at the field...
This is what they do to rival players:
One of our captains, Gurpegui, gets called: "eres un yonki" (drug addict) or "pásame un gramo" (pass me a gram of drug) at the Vicente Calderón stadium ¬¬
they also sing: "vascos vascos, hemos venido a fusilaros" (basques, we've come to execute (kill) you")
"Gurpegui muerete" "Die Gurpegui die"
They have black/latinamerican players in their club but still chant this kind of shit to rival players:
"Mourinho son of a bitch" "Mourinho die" "That Portuguese is suck a motherfucker" "Marcelo you are a Monkey" "Die Pepe Die"
The Atletic gang throwing Flares to Sevilla fans.
You can find tons and tons of related issues about this fanatism, the LFP does nothing, the Spanish Football Federation does nothing, UEFA does nothing, the referees look the other way...
It's really tiresome and annoying that this situation is still allowed to happen in our stadiums, I hope something can be done but I don't count on it ¬¬

OT: Has Falcao renewed yet? I saw they upped James' clause.. the highest now next to Hulk. xD
no subject
no he hasn't, but he better sobs. a few days ago on a colombian show he was asked 'england or spain' and answered 'for now, portugal' so i'm hoping that means he will xD and his clause better be like 70m + if james' is 45 haha
no subject
I hope he didn't answer Portugal just because he can't say anything yet. ;_; I'm hopeful though and it better be or that will be unfair. I'm excited for their run in Copa America btw possibly Zuniga, Yepes, Zapata and Armero at the back :3, then you have Guarin and him. Missing piece is James but he has to play for the U20 xD.
Do you know Modern Family btw? There's a Colombian mother and son there xD and she said that she comes from a neighborhood where all the crime takes place and then there's one time where she said "I'm Colombian, I know a fake crime scene when I see one".
no subject
they have some amaaazying players. teo gutierrez. gah.
jaaaaammmeees. so excited for sub20. glad neymar won't be there to terrorize the little kiddies
never watched it xD haha
no subject
Oh and I just saw the photos you posted~ I like the magazine cover one.
Yeah I read that too and my first thought was "Yes!! Time for James to shine" xD They play at home right? So they better win it.
Oh booo you :p
no subject
umm the manager seems.. nice? haha idk. adequate. he's smiley. trololo
~i~ didn't post that one but yeah. haha the o jogo one? yeaaaahhhh
NO. they better not win it. haha. they can get to the uruguay-colombia final tho. and then lose xD sorry james
no subject

Btw I didn't know the Toulon final is over already! I thought they just made it to the final, which they'll play sometime this year.
See? Your true colours are showing. It's all about Uruguay~
no subject
OOHH that one haha. the other person posted that one xD
pfft idk haha.
yeah those tournaments are so quick. poor kiddies. in the sub20 thing in august the games are like 2/3 days apart
of couuurse tho
no subject
xD Oh, I thought it's only you who handles that account.
At least they won :3 and James had a huge impact for them in the tournament~ But 2/3 days is harsh.
But but you said you don't have a ranking~
no subject
nahh, most of the posts aren't me. i was just asked to help xD
well not for other teams haha. like i want uru to win copa america and sub20 and stuff. and then the rest i just have 'ooh they're nice' and stuff. xD idek
no subject
Well, it's okay.. it's not like Uruguay's going to win any match anyway :p
