Turkish football fans (Besiktas supporters) pelted former Arsenal player Emmanuel Eboue with water bottles, lighters and some have said (via Twitter) human excrement.
The disgusting incident happened during a match yesterday.
Eboue now plays for Galatasaray.
…
This has upset my spirit today.
Racism at it’s finest.

and white people call black people uncivilised, go to a football game see how civilised white people are. Damn jokers
Wow! Now this is deep!!! When it comes to football white people act a fool. But more importantly …this is accepted. No one does anything about it…. sad!!! Man this upsets me big time….. Hatred is so deeply rooted… I know he had to feel really low while this was going on…
More reasons to not add Turkey to the EU. sort out your people. enough said. absolutely disgusting and no one was helping him except the one person who tried to cover his head
So everyone just stood there and watched..my blood is boiling.
I am NEVER stepping foot in Turkey. All I can see is visions of Kunte Kinte, this looks like a modern day whipping by the slave master. Those racist should all be burnt.
apparently the fans were bottling him because they felt he was cheating!!! or one of those whiney look ref look ref type players…. i’m not saying its excusable but its easier to jump to conclusions about this clip without knowing more
apparently he had fouled some body pretty badly and hammed it up to the ref ..lol and the crowd had no love for that!!..(apparently)???
Yes so they say…
In light of what has happened recently, it is easy to jump on this and say it is racism. What the fans are doing is inexcusable, but like tymusic said, this is a bit more to this story. Apparently this is not uncommon in Turkey and (again not defending Turkey), Eboue has been accused of diving by opposition fans. Something tells me to doubt that this attack is more about hooliganism than just outright racism.
