That's definitely not normal, if you go to a football match anywhere in Europe the chances of seeing that are very slim.
The reason it would never happen in the NBA or NFL is because the vast majority of players are black. However i wonder how the first black NBA or NFL players were treated...

I don't know how the first NBA and NFL players were treated, but it probably wasn't nearly as good as it is now. America has a racial past, people discriminated against Irish and Italian people too. I don't deny that because it's definitely true, but if you look at us today, the progress we made is pretty amazing and like Janos said, America was built on multiculturalism while European countries weren't. In Asia, China and Japan are extremely xenophobic last time I checked and they aren't at all multicultural.

It would be more fair to compare Europe to Asian countries and America to Latin American countries.
