I have been reading the iPhone comments you can make in the Eurosport app and there’s quite a racist element who make vile racist comments. Eurosport don’t seem bothered by it but I think the police might be interested. There’s no moderation whatsoever so it’s open season for the racists.

Have been searching for a means to talk with Eurosport about these racist comments and am very pleased to have found this post. I am in complete agreement that they be edited out and the people who post them be disqualified from further posts. At a time when continued racism in football is a matter of international concern and Eurosport reports on this, how can they in good conscience also encourage its promotion?

Johnny, we are nothing to do with Eurosport but it may be possible someone there might be alerted to this discussion.

Thanks for the reply. Well yes, that’s basically the idea. Would they like to explain themselves? How are they to be alerted?

If you click on the link at the top of this very page which says “Find out more about British Eurosport in our directory” you get taken to a page which has the channel’s address and telephone number on it.
