Olympic athletes aren't responsible for changing China
Following the protests that disrupted the Olympic torch's visit to London on Sunday, April 6th, Jim White defends the athletes caught in the middle of a geo-political conflict. "Judging by the anger being expressed yesterday, it was as if sports people are the only ones consorting with the Chinese ... Why is no one asking questions [of] the banks opening up branches in Shanghai... ? How come only sport is required to display a conscience ? ... The presence of the games in China will do far more to highlight the country's human rights deficiencies than any other single event in a decade. Without the embarrassing and chaotic scenes in London yesterday, few would have thought about Tibet, and its plight would certainly not have been leading the news bulletins all day. As it made its way past the banner-wavers and chanters yesterday, the torch showed us what it does best: cast light into the darkest corners."

English football hooligans 'spurn'
Columnist Jim White is ashamed following two incidents in Stuttgart on Saturday involving England football supporters who hurled plastic chairs and bottles at German fans celebrating a 2-0 win over Sweden. Hundreds were arrested. The hooligans "seemed anxious to spurn all messages of inclusiveness and fun. To this group of sour-faced individuals, with their shaven heads and drooping jowls, the sight of the locals enjoying victory, waving flags and singing songs, was provocation too far. ... Saturday, though, was a reminder that the beast hasn't entirely gone away. Banning orders and corporate raiding of the game have marginalised the influence of the surly minority. But they are still there, incapable of entering into the spirit of things, brooding and intolerant. ... England's quarter-final is next Saturday in Gelsenkirchen. The locals had better be prepared."
