ResumoClick to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Acknowledgements I would like to thank John Solomos who initially invited me to put together this special issue as well as the editorial board of Ethnic and Racial Studies for supporting the idea. Special thanks are due to Amanda Eastell-Bleakley in helping to get the special issue published as well as the external reviewers and all of the contributors. Notes 1. Suárez conceded that he had said to Evra ‘Por que, negro?’ (‘Why black?’) but not ‘Porque tu eres negro’ (‘Because you are black’). Suárez also claimed that Evra had insulted him first by saying ‘Don't touch me, South American’, to which he replied ‘Por que, negro?’ and claimed his pinching of Evra's skin was an attempt to defuse the situation. The IRC found this argument to be flawed and unreliable. 2. Compared to almost any other country, the US has a much longer and significant body of work looking at race and sports, though for the most part this has tended to focus disproportionately on the African American (male) experience. It should also be noted that Ellis Cashmore's work is perhaps an exception to this general point with his important, if occasionally problematic, forays into the sociology of race and sport going back three decades now, for example see Cashmore (1982, 1983).
