A banana can already show racism, a bite can show defending.
Wow. This is astonishing. Racism is actually illegal in the past. I know that this country has some problems, but it's crazy that some people think that black and white are different. Of course, they are, but they shouldn't TREAT them differently. Besides, they're both people. A punishment? Well, this is sort of difficult. This act of an idiot throwing a banana to a black soccer player is pretty darn bad, but he fought against it. When he bit into the banana, he's saying: "I don't care on what others think of me. I don't deserve this". He takes a bite, showing that nothing will stop him. To me, this problem is already resolved. But a punishment will never solve this. There are plenty of people in the world like this. It is a very hard task to treat these people. I think that there should be a punishment for the banana-thrower, but I also want for these people to keep in mind: "you can't punish forever. People are still out there." To the team, what to do? Well, I don't want people to think they should start to change the people who play due to the risk of these things again, but they should set a law that any interfering with the game should lead to prison, or something like that. What if this thing happens again, but with a weapon? What do you think they should do?

If the case is that a guy with a weapon shows up, he should be discouraged by installing metal detectors or some sort of device to check for weapons. This should happen, but only after something like a guy that shows up with a weapon. Some may wonder why this action was racist. I thought so too, but after looking into it, I found out that the throwing-the-banana incident was actually pretty offensive. Apparently when there was still segregation, people threw bananas at African Americans because they considered them "apes". If you think about, the guy that threw the banana considered the player an idiot. Wouldn't you think that's offending?
