In Franklin Tennessee, where I lived for 25 years, they still have hope the South will win the Civil War. My mother-in-law's boyfriend's, real name is General Lee. Thank heaven, everyone calls him G.L.
So that realy doesn't surprise me.

Thierry Henry has dealt with racism his entire football career.
From wikipedia:
Having being subjected to racism in the past, Henry is an active spokesperson against racism in football. The most prominent incident of racism against Henry was during a training session with the Spanish national team in 2004,[65][66] when a Spanish TV crew caught Luis Aragonés referring to Henry as "black ****".[60] The incident caused uproar in the British media, and there were calls for Aragonés to be sacked.[67] Henry and Nike started the Stand Up Speak Up campaign against racism in football as a result of the incident.[68] Subsequently, in 2007, Time featured him as one of the "Heroes & Pioneers" on "The Time 100" list.[69]

No offense here Bill, but I grew up in Franklin and I take offense to that statement... and your wrong. Yes it is one of the most historically important locations of the civil war, but the city of franklin and williamson county is no where near as racist as you are making it here... and I honestly can't believe you are going to make statments about franklin being redneck when you are from Cheatham county... </rant>

How sad that would be. That a whole country loses a GP due to a small group of idiots. The best course of action would be to remove those fans who conduct themselves in a racist manner. Don't give them any more press.
