Red Star Belgrade

soccer team’s fans. The soccer games seemed to be more about beating the life out of the other team’s fans than actually watching the game. Comparing The Jewish Question to The Gangster’s Paradise, without a doubt one would think the situation in Serbia is far worse than that of the Jewish bearing name calling. Being a Croatian or Bosnian in Serbia in the 1990’s was just absurd, you would not be able to live in the godforsaken conditions. In Serbia, for the Belgrade Red Star, soccer was a lifestyle. Being a hooligan for The Red Star was a lifestyle, a time consuming will to assert aggression upon others. On the other side of the spectrum, we have the Jewish soccer teams and their affiliates. The Jewish soccer teams did not for the most part receive acts of violence against them. But, the MTK, Ajax, Hakoah, and Tottenham all received verbal abuse for their association with Jewish cultural. On the bright side, being called names for what you are seems a lot nicer than getting beat to death for who you were born as. The Red Star took pride as a soccer team, where in history there has not been a large population of Jewish athletes, let alone dominant Jewish athletes. That is where the difference is made, Serbians were hooligans and soccer was their life because they had to, where the Jewish soccer players had a choice to be apart of teams and associate themselves with specific groups. In the chapter of the book called “How Soccer Explains the American…

was to go to France. As one of the best students in my generation at the University of Belgrade I decided to apply for a highly selective scholarship at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis.

Body:MILO Milošević was “the former president of Serbia and Yugoslavia”, “he was responsible for the politics that resulted in more than two hundred thousand dead.” It is hard for all of us to believe that a man so evil became president but it is not hard to realize why he was in that position in the first place. Milošević had legal-rational authority, that is what made him so powerful at the time. To me, the way Milošević obtained his authority characterizes him as a calculated oppurtunist who…
