Even though the Russian officials are playing it down, there is still a risk of having racist chants. In order to stop the racist chants, they can increase the amount of security guards that are in the crowd. In doing this, the guards will make sure that everyone is being respectful. If they catch anyone misbehaving, they can just throw them out. Russia can make the world cup a less hostile environment by doing many things. Like it said in the article, fans will need to apply for a fan id which would lead to intense background checks. This will help ensure that fans at the event are all good people. Like I said before, they can increase security presence not only in the stadium, but in the towns where the games are being played as well. This could help prevent fights between fans (as seen in the 2016 EUROS).
I think the security can put a stop to the ultras singing racist chants by placing more security guards around the arena. If there are more security guards monitoring the crowds, they can put a stop to the ultras chanting racial chants. If they find ultras chanting inappropriate things, they can simply escort the fan out. Russia can make the world cup a less hostile environment by really making sure the fans are good respectful people. I agree with what was said in the article that fans will need to apply for a fan ID that would lead to intense background checks because it will keep everyone at the arena safe.
I think the security can put a stop to the ultras singing racist chants by increasing the amount of security in the stadium. If more security is among the crowd, they will make sure that the fans are not being disrespectful by using racist chants. When security hears somebody make a comment, they can simply escort them out of the stadium. Along with the implementation of guards, Russia can make the world cup a less hostile environment by making “All supporters, domestic or international, required to apply for a "Fan ID" for which rigorous background checks are made, also helping to nullify the risk of touting”. This will ensure that fans are respectful and can prevent future altercations.
For a long time in soccer, "hooliganism" has been a problem. When you think of Liverpool vs United, the first thing that come to mind are drunkards at the pub arguing over a decision, not two respectful citizens in suits, sipping on chardonnay discussing the beauty of the game. However this "hooliganism" has often shifted into racism, and escalated into a problem with large urgency. I feel the best way for security to prevent more of these horrific chants is to simply crack down on it. I'm sure security guards hear it all the time however many turn a blind eye with the mindset that racist chants within soccer are "tradition." I think the policy should be that if you hear something, there are no warnings, but you're out. I also think it is important to encourage supporters to report others when hearing racists chants and songs. Once again, it would not surprise me if many team's supporters ignore rather than report racist chants in the name of "tradition." Now is the time to throw tradition out the window. Honestly this question is one that is very difficult to answer due to the fact that when you bring together groups of drunk, prideful team supporters conflict will arise. I believe Russia should deploy increased security at not only the games themselves, but also surrounding bars and public areas, where fights could start, to ensure that everything is in line, and mayhem does not break out.
There will always be security issues at sports events. It is one of the hardest tasks to have people not cause waves inside the stadium, but our country largely succeeds at preventing this. There are times when people should be dealt with at games for causing problems, and this should continue to be the way they deal with the people this upcoming World Cup in Russia. There are often ushers in most parts of the stadium for every sports event, and this should be no different. If there are any bad problems inside the venue, the people should be properly dealt with. If Russia hires good enough security inside the venue, the problem of ultras singing racist chants should be minimized. Russia is very similar to many other places in the world, where certain sports events can bring out the worst of certain people. There will be people on drugs, people who are drunk, and Russia needs to know the proper way to deal with these people. During the World Cup, Russia can strongly succeed at having a very non-hostile time, but they will need to have the proper amount of security dispersed throughout the areas of where the World Cup takes place. Having the security help prevent as many issues as possible will keep the many people around the world attending the event as safe as can be expected.
During giant sporting events like the world cup, fans become incredibly passionate their teams and sometimes do things that are not necessarily appropriate such as scream racist chants or other profanities. I think for an event like the world cup there should be a zero tolerance policy for these obscenities. Especially since its an event that unites the world through the love of sport, and is supposed to put aside issues such as racism or conflict between other countries.
Its Russia's duty to make sure that the world cup is not a hostile environment. Increasing security would be one way to do this but ultimately they are not going to be able to perform background checks for each attendee, but they can prohibit certain bags from being in the stadiums. In addition they can just make it very clear to all fans that anyone who screams obscenities will be removed from the games. Prohibiting alcohol would probably help too, however they would lose lots of money to concessions.
Security can put a stop to these racist chants simply by increasing in numbers. Putting security in more areas of the stadium makes for more coverage and a lower chance for fans to get away with this type of behavior without being thrown out of the arena. If security has, as Ryan put it, a zero tolerance policy, then I think that although it is hard to stop people from using such language, they can deal with them as it happens.
I think security will help with making the arena less hostile, and also looking out for people who seem to be drunk, or under the influence of anything. Fans get very passionate during these events, and do stupid things. Russia needs to be ready to deal with these things as they happen, or things can get out of hand.
I feel security at soccer games will really have a challenging time putting a stop to racist chants. Security can try their bests to put a stop to the chanting right as it starts and kick anyone out who is singing them but most of the time it is going to be way too many people chanting to stop at once. Once a chant gets going it is going to be very hard to stop. Singing is part of the game and player just need to deal with the adversity and keep playing on.
I feel that people who are protecting the arena including security and the local authorities will be the ones in charge of keeping the games safe and less hostile. Even though security and police can try their bests to stop hostility at games, Russia itself needs to inform citizens that their reputation is on the line and they need to act good for their country.
This is tough because it is hard sometimes seeing who is doing what in the crowds. Security can take out hwoever is saying the chants if they knwo for sure. Security will have to keep the game safe by enforcing rules and stoping any racisit actions. Also, people of russia have to realize that racism is not ok and stop. By security stoping these chnts at gmes I think it will encourage peopel to stop being racist.
I believe the only way security can put a stop to these chants is if there are a plethora of them placed around the area. If there are multiple guards it is easier to spot people that are making disturbing comments and chants. Also with more guards, people will be more intimidated to say things that may get them in trouble. Second, Russia can make the World Cup less hostile in many ways. First of all, they can have more security not only in the arena areas, but also around town, in places near the main events.
I believe if we place more guards around more areas, then that would partially solve the racists chants sung by ultras. If there are more guards around the area, then its a better chance to hear people chanting racist comments and stop them. The only thing I can think of to help Russia make the world cup less hostile is to beef up security. If their are more guards their will be less people causing trouble.
In my opinion, I believe the security can put a full stop to the racist singing and chants coming from the ultras. This can be done but increased security and stricter rules. By having increased security, the inappropriate chants can be stopped quicker therefore being reduced. In Russia, the fans can apply for a fan ID as mentioned in the article. This will ensure that the fans attending games are well behaved and have no had any trouble in the past. The increase in security inside and outside of the stadium is the smartest, most efficient way for the stadium, town and people to be safe.
I don’t think that there will be a full stop to the racist chanting. There are always going to be racist people, and no one is going to be able to change it. Higher and more security will reduce the risk of this though. The fan ID is a smart idea along with background checks so they will know that the fans are not going to create a hostile environment.
I believe security is a key factor into stopping this "hooliganism" demonstrated by fans. Because of the intensity of the World Cup and the rarity in which it happens, fans tend to roll with the intensity of others and, sometimes, get out of control. If there is a higher level of security not only outside of the stadium, but within the stadium, the chances for racist chants from fans are reduced by a large amount. The security should be tolerable to fans potentially harassing them, but should have the ability to throw them out if they choose to. Fans should be obligated to listen to the security provided at the events and not give them any difficulties. I believe Russia has the ability to promote moderated cheering. An idea they could do is provide a sort of list that explains what is prohibited as a fan. Although, this list does not have to be too strict, as rowdiness from fans is a natural occurrence. The moderation is key because if it is out of control, the security should be allowed to remove fans.
I think one of the only impactful ways security can stop these racist chants is to place more guards around the stadium. I still don't think this is an efficient method because it could start chaos and fights. There isn't a lot you can do. To make the world cup in Russia less hostile is to hire expand the security into the city. If they can get the guards to protect outside of the stadium, the world cup will be less hostile.
I think the security can stop racist chants and create a safer environment by using stricter laws and a larger police presence. I believe if a fan sees a large task force, they are bound to stop their threatening chants. However, it is hard to stop a whole stadium from stopping their actions. Russia can recommend stopping this problem through laws or press releases, but it is truly up to the fans to stop what they're doing. The World Cup also has fans from around the world, so the crowds will have a more diverse population that may not tolerate racist chants.
I think it'd be hard for security to stop the racist comments. There aren't enough security guards to stop the crowds. I think it is a cultural change that needs to happen. The soccer organizations need to have some sort of recognition of this and find a way to combat it. Having a week or month dedicated to acceptance or equality. The only thing I really see the security able to do is escort fans who exhibit major racist slurs that effect the players on the field. Russia should have more strict rules on what will not be tolerated by fans. They also should have high monitoring on each section of the stands in order to enforce these rules.
I think that the security can stop racist chants and will support more of a healthier environment. The presences of a force can scary people and remind people to not make racist comments or actions. People just shouldn't be racist and upping the security will force people to act right. The world cup could make the environment less hostile by telling the fans that this isn't right and has a consequences if people do this. If the Ultras are the biggest concern then they should remove them from the fan if they continue these actions. The World Cup is suppose to be fun and not a place for racist comments to be made.
How can the security put a stop to the ultras singing racist chants? I don't think that normal security can stop people from starting racist chants. I think there would have to be a huge amount of security to try and stop it, but still if everyone is chanting, you can't throw everyone out.
How can Russia make the world cup a less hostile environment? I would try to create a zero tolerance policy for racism. Play music over there racist chants, and have a large police and security presence.
I agree with what Kevin Greer said about this issue. I believe they should increased the numbers of security guards in the stadium. The more security there is the easier it will be to find and stop people participating in racists chants. Even though it will be hard, security has to at least try to stop the racism. Any racist chants should not be tolerated and there should be repercussions for the fans who participate in them. As long as Russia can limit the racist chants and any violent acts, the world cup will be a less hostile environment.
I think that the most effective way to stop the ultras singing racist chants would be to increase the number of security guards. I think that it any sports stadium in the world, it is extremely difficult for the security to control each and every fan. With thousands of screaming fans, there really is no solution. However, by increasing the amount of security guards, I think that the amount of racist chants would reduce in the stadium. In order to make the world cup a less hostile environment, Russia needs to ensure that everyone is under control. I think that part of the reason these racist chants started is because of alchohol consumption. It is no doubt that the Russian's at the stadium can have as much alchohol as they wish. Maybe by enforcing harsher rules on alchohol consumption, the world cup would be a less hostile environment.
Even though the Russian officials are playing it down, there is still a risk of having racist chants. In order to stop the racist chants, they can increase the amount of security guards that are in the crowd. In doing this, the guards will make sure that everyone is being respectful.
