Spain struggle to tackle sport racism

The title of my artcle is title
Racism is an issue in Spanish sport and also reflects the attitudes in Spanish society. Although serious discrimination or violence is not prevalent in Spain. They like to make fun of someone by using race. Four years ago, there's an international friendly in Madrid. Few british football players were abused by the Spanish fans but it's regularly occurs in Spanish league games. A famous editor of Spain's biggest sports paper said that" It's been exaggerated in the news. It's only 4 or 5 people who were doing this things." Compare to Spain, British society is sensitive about race although there are still serious problems. The racial problems happen on a football field or in motor racing are a reflection of the reality of day to day life in Spain.
My opinion is Everyone has his or her stereotypes but we should respect others especially other racial people.

Heart risk of watching football

The title of my artcle is title
The news is from BBC News but in this article, football means soccer not American football. According to this article, study showed that cardiac emergencies(heart diease) usually occurre in the matches especially with a penalty shoot.
A cardiac nurse said that althought football matches might cause heart diease and more series like sleep deprivation, smoking, binge drinking, and poor diet.
My opinion is some people might think a country who is strong or not depends on how their athletes perform like how many golds they earn in the Olympics? or Who won the FIFA World Cup? So win or lose for them is absolutely important. That's why they are so nervous and intense when they watch the football games.
