Football and Discrimination – A Case Study from Bulgaria
Iva Kyurkchieva
Sažetak
This study aims to acquaint the academic community with the complex amalgam of relationships that arose from the case of a football player from Nigeria, who competed for a Bulgarian provincial team. He was attacked and severely beaten by a group of skinheads in the centre of Sofia in 2007. These events provoked interactions between the official state authorities, the non-government sector, and various representatives of Bulgarian society. This situation creates conditions for posing contentious questions to society and provides an opportunity for some solutions. The study of the degree of sensitivity and commitment of the mentioned actors can help to understand the issues related to discrimination in Bulgarian society. My research is primarily based on in-depth interviews. I have also used various written data from the official websites of state and non-governmental institutions and media publications to apply the comparative anthropological approach.
