Secondary Research - Racism

Secondary Research

Suarez vs Evra

What happened in the Suarez vs Evra incident is that Suarez was saying racist things towards Evra in a premier league match. Suarez called Evra a “Blackie” 3 times after Evra threatened to punch him. He also said to Evra that “I don't speak to blacks”. Suarez said this because he felt that the referee wasn't being fair when Evra kicked Suarez. This secondary research will help us with our campaigning film because we are going to use what happened here kind of like a storyboard as we are basing our campaigning film on this.


Evra Dancing In a Panda Costume

What happened here is that these are the types of things that footballers are willing to do to stop football in racism. Patrice Evra, a victim of racism in football dressed up in a panda costume and started dancing. The idea of this is that the coming together of black people and white people as a panda is black and white, it connotes that we should be together and not enemies. This secondary research is useful to us because it is helping us get a full understanding of what people are willing to do when they have been a victim of racism in football.
