NAACP attacks FIFA for tolerating racism!

WOW!!

"The worlds largest civil rights organization will not sit idly by as athletes of color are assailed on or off the playing field,â?� said NAACP President and CEO Bruce S. Gordon. â??The abuse being endured during these international matches is unacceptable. We call on the world and those who regulate and sponsor these events to denounce such public displays of bigotry and move swiftly to bring them to an end. These actions are throwbacks to a disturbing history that should be just that, history. We are determined they will not be repeated again.â??

"The NAACP President urges the companies to denounce racist activity and leverage their advertising dollars should event organizers fail to act on the matter. Anything short of that, he asserts, condones the behavior and mars their brand."
