Could you imagine Marvel Wynne or O'Brien White getting racially abused in the BMO parking lot by a Toronto FC supporter? Not that I'm of the whole "there's no racism here, we live under Pierre Trudeau's beautiful multicultural rainbow where nothing ever goes wrong" school of Canadian self back-slappery, but let's just say if it happened, I suspect you would get headlines in every single national daily, weeks of op-eds about how racism persists in Canada, and anti-racist tifos in the south end that would make Dichio's tribute look like a bit of tissue paper.
That is to say, you'd get more than a Guardian side story segueing about halfway in to this: "On the field, Rangers have been rocked by the news that another midfielder, Pedro Mendes, will be absent for at least two months because of a knee injury."
It's an encouraging sign though that Rangers are going to some effort to find this asshole.
