Over the past decade there have been a lot of
issues in football with regards to racism. There have been blatant act of
racism shown by football coaches, notably by Spain’s Luis Aragones in 2004, who
was trying to motivate one of his players, named Jose Antonio Reyes,by saying
that he is better that “negro de
mierda” (referring to Reyes’ club team mate at that time Thierry Henry ). This
incident caused a furore in the footballing world, as experts could not
understand how someone of Aragones’ experience could something so shallow and
pathetic. This event probably wasn’t the first ever act of racism in the game,
but it was however, the first act of racism in football that got my attention.
After this event, I noticed a trend of racism in the game which even included supporters
who would chant monkey sounds when a black player has got a ball (noticeably in
Spain).

Communication Technology in Dance Education
Dance
is a form of art that has long been around as a form of expression and is
taking the world by storm. It is more than just movement, it is a story, it is
a message, it is the communication of one’s culture, the expression of ones
feelings and emotions, and sometimes, it even is the baring of the soul. Dance
conveys what words fail to articulate. Every gesture, every twitch, right down
to the fingertips holds meaning and to the eye that understands, can be
something amazingly inspirational and most impactful.
