I have african friends who spent time in Russia for school and some of them were not treated very well where as others were just treated like they didnt exist.... so, I know times have changed and people are becoming more open to foreigners but this close-minded point of view is still prevalent especially in societies where this isnt alot of diversity. lets not kid ourselves people… i know im making an assumption, but I think rebrov isnt the only person from that part of the world who thinks like this… I have african friends who spent time in Russia for school and some of them were not treated very well where as others were just treated like they didnt exist…. so, I know times have changed and people are becoming more open to foreigners but this close-minded point of view is still prevalent especially in societies where this isnt alot of diversity.

Like I said before, none of the Eastern European countries ever enslaved Africans because of thier skin colour, or commited genocide against the North American Indians. Thats on YOU wertern Europe. And they dont bomb innocent Iraqis for Profit like England does, who do you think crushed Irans democracy in the 50's. It was churchill and the US.

The point he tries to make is that imported players don't have the same kind of accountability and loyalty to a club as homegrown players. Blokhin was upset to see the UPL turn into a stepping stone league, where foreign players come because they can get European exposure and leave in two years for greener pastures. He felt that the constant turnover of the best players breaks the continuity of a team and would not allow Ukrainian clubs to become anything more than European cannon fodder. And Blokhin knows too much about football for that theory not to have a certain amount of merit.

The only real kind of freedom conceivable is anarchy. And correct me if I'm incorrect, but did you not just judge and make assumptions based on a few words?

But not only that, extreme nationalism has had it's fair share of side-effects.. ie, nazist setiments, etc. Sadly it hasn't been tackled as Putin cares more about political stability than fixing social problems. But I like how Eastern Europe is at least free, not like hypocritical western states. you all are full of sh*t. you're all racist. please stop the nonsense You guys think you’re so smart, hen indeed you’re just as full of shit as rebrov for not only judging a person on a few words but making assumptions about modern history.

Brian, dude - you missing the whole point. We football fans care about our teams, and when we see that players we adore so much, don't give a shit, we might get angry. As for Blokhim - real problem - mercenaries running for easy money who don't give a shit about team, something we hold dear + very poor choice of words in this information age.

Or shooting a Brazilian man 7 times in the head because he was brown skinned. Yeah, its almsot as bad as enslaving millions of Africans based on their skin colour.

Goes a little farther than what you usually hear in England... @Yevy — Yeah, but Blokhin’s also arguing that the influx of foreign players is making it harder for footballers to be motivated by the threat of being physically assaulted by fans after a loss.
