The most racist team in the world.

The feud between Arabs and Jews has been going for centuries. The base of the hatred between the two, ironically is religion and the battle for the city of Jerusalem. Arabs believe it is the city where the prophet mohammed ascended to heaven, Jews believe it is where jesus will return to earth to create a kingdom to heaven. The fighting over the city has become violent and is still going on today. The tension between the two groups has resulted in death, poverty and constant fear around the walls of Jerusalem. This hatred towards each other is, unfortunately, portrayed no more clear then by a soccer team in the Israeli Premier League. Beitar Jerusalem is considered one of, if not the most racist club in world football. They are located just a few miles outside of Jerusalem in an area that, because of walls erected by the government to protect from suicide bombers, is predominately jewish. They are also the only team that has never had an Arab player on its roster. The clubs most passionate fans are a group called La Familia, a group of nearly 6,000 racist fans. With chants such as "Death to the Arabs," Mohammed is a son of a bitch," and "We hate all arabs." It is no doubt one of the most violent atmospheres to play in. Arab players that play on other teams in the league say that playing at that stadium "is like war." What has this world come to when a professional establishment would allow behavior like this to exist. Yes the league punishes them repeatedly and the club is struggling severely with finances and performance. but the fact of the matter is that it exists. ESPN did a documentary on this team that opened my eyes and inspired me to post about them. People around the world do not realize the passion that fans across the world support their team with in this sport. They also don't realize that racism is not a thing of the past, it is more prevalent now then ever. It might not be towards african-americans anymore but it is still there and it is destroying a beautiful game. I attached the ESPN documentary for viewing if you wish.
