• Caption of black players training translates as: ‘See how chocolates melt in sun’ • Critics say racism one of the biggest issues Russia faces in World Cup year

The controversial Twitter post was later deleted from Spartak’s official page. It is the third time in a matter of months Spartak have been embroiled in a controversy over racism. They were ordered to partially close their academy stadium for one fixture by Uefa, which found some of the club’s fans were guilty of racist behaviour towards the Liverpool striker Bobby Adekanye during a Youth League match in September. Last month, the Spartak defender Leonid Mironov was charged with racially abusing the Reds striker Rhian Brewster after an incident during the return Uefa Youth League game between the sides at Prenton Park.

I love how they try to Portray racism as the absolute worst thing anyone can do. When everyone knows that every ethnicity makes remarks about other ethnicities



ETA: And it isn’t even racist. They are brown. Chocolate is brown. Chocolate melts in the sun. It’s a simple observation

I bet if the Russians knew this twitter post would cause such a ruckus they would have picked their own potatoes.
