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.
