Spanish police arrest Dani Alves banana thrower suspect
panish police say they have arrested a spectator suspected of throwing a banana at Barcelona’s Brazilian footballer Dani Alves last weekend. The racist incident took place as the player was about to take a corner in a match at Villarreal on Sunday.

The club said earlier the man involved had had his season ticket withdrawn and…
THE BANANA THAT REVEALED EUROPE’S PERSISTENT RACISM
Of course we should all applaud Barcelona’s flying fullback, Dani Alves, for his inspiring protest action during a Spanish league match Sunday. When a spectator threw a banana at the Brazilian footballer as a racist insult, he quickly picked it up, peeled it and ate it. But when it comes to finally exorcizing the specter of European racism, humor may not be enough. The incident and the global attention it has garnered demonstrate yet again that when it comes to racism in football, the onus is placed on black and brown players and their reactions to abuse — as if the responsibility…

The chairman of the Department for Country Studies of the Institute of Europe (the Russian Academy of Sciences), Vladislav Belov, shared his views with Pravda.Ru about the introduction of economic and political sanctions against Russia. “U.S. Department of Commerce banned the supplies of spacecraft with US-made equipment on board, which caused problems to European partners.
