Kuddos for Onyewu to take this further. If it turns out that that Anderlecht player indeed called him a dirty monkey several times in the first playoff of this year's title fight, then Van Damme should be brought to justice. I don't know the details of the anti-racism law in Belgium, but I really do hope that he can be prosecuted.
I'm sick and tired of hearing the argument that in football things get yelled at each other to intimidate the other player. There is no excuse, NO EXCUSE for using racial slurs in any game. And if you do use it, then be prepared for the consequences. Too many talented players have just swallowed their pride and listened to the abuse for years. I hope that more victims of this blatant racism fight back with every weapon the legal system offers them. Onyewu, I think you are a hero.
And no, this has nothing to do with my everlasting love for the team of Liege. It just makes me more proud that it's one of the Rouches that fights back.
Oh, and WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO, we won the championship again!!!!
