The game was in Europe (maybe london?) I believe.

People think racism is a problem in this country, but it is 100x worse in Europe. It is not uncommon at soccer games for the fans to start chanting the N word, or throwing bananas. There is a reason why FIFA started a fight against racism campaign.

I have never once heard any racist chants/heckling at an American sporting event.

Cramps are the worst. Way worse than name calling

This, however, I was going to say, "Maybe the guy thought he was hungry." Yours was better.
