Soccer fans shove black man off Paris subway car while chanting: 'We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it'
Amateur video reportedly taken at the Richelieu-Drouot station showed a group of thugs pushing the man off the train twice and then mocking him with chants of 'We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it.'
Before they cheered their team on to a 1-1 draw against PSG, a group of traveling Chelsea fans went on a racist spree of violence and harassment on the Paris subway Tuesday night by attacking a black man who attempted to board a train.
Amateur video reportedly taken at the Richelieu-Drouot station, and published by The UK Guardian, showed thugs repeatedly yelling “Chelsea” - which ironically had three black players in its starting lineup for Tuesday's Champions League game - in the man's face and then shoving him twice off the train as he tried getting on.
The mob then mocked their victim with chants of, "We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it."
A Chelsea spokesperson publicly condemned the incident, telling Goal.com that “such behaviour is abhorrent and has no place in football or society.
