Nice to see prejudice is a one way street when it comes to soccer in Israel. Beitar Jerusalem midfielder Derek Boateng was subjected to racial abuse that would have made Lazio fans and Spain coach Luis Aragones proud. The abuse was dished out by his own fans who were furious at Beitar’s exit from the Champions League.

Beitar supporters are known for being extremist, right-wing ultras. Their racialism is usually directed at Arabs. Unfortunately for Boateng, he caught it full blast. Here’s the video.

Besides the monkey noises, Boateng was subjected to chants of “Derek Boateng is a monkey” and “Derek Boateng is a son of a bitch”. Other reports have noted that chants of “nigger” were also thrown in. I don’t speak Hebrew but the reports I’ve seen seem to confirm each other and the one translation we were given also confirms what has been reported so far**. The hate continued until the fans were confronted by the team captain and another Israeli international.

The story gets stranger … no, more fucked up. Boateng came out and denied the incident took place. Apparently, the club threatened to sack him after he made gestures to the fans in response to the abuse. Ghanaian news sites are calling him a compulsive liar for trying to cover up the situation. The guy can’t win for trying. It’s unclear what his contract situation is but he needs to get away from Beitar as soon as possible.

** It would be good to get another first-hand translation in case I’m missing some other insults.

I’ve tried to track down the story Real Sports did on Beitar and their ultras but I’ve had no luck so far.

Gary’s off the hook. John Lydon just took his place as most deserving of a throat slap today.

Ozzie Guillen better watch out for secret weapon White She-Devil on the South Side. The “Venezuelan piece of shit that is racist and only starts the Latin players” (as some Chisox fans call him) doesn’t play whitey.

Guillen surprisingly has been taking the criticism in a calm manner.

”I got a bunch of e-mails that said I played the ‘Cuban Missile’ [rookie Alexei Ramirez in the season opener] because he’s Cuban,” Guillen said. ”Wow, did you see the spring training the ‘Cuban Missile’ had? You would play him, too. I don’t make a lineup because of who is Latino and who is not. That’s ignorant. The ‘Cuban Missile’ had bad games because he went against C.C. [Sabathia] and [Fausto] Carmona.

”The one thing people need to understand is it takes me a long time to make the lineup. It’s not easy. But people say some dumb things.”

If anyone would know anything about saying dumb things sometimes, it would be Guillen. However, the guy is great and it’s refreshing to have someone like him in the league. It would be better if more managers spoke their minds. He could be the off-brand Jose Mourinho.

We suppose the term hypocrisy would be lost on White Sox fans who spew racism while accusing Guillen of the same. Boston fans better step their racialist game up.
