BBC News article
Mo Farah, 34, was travelling from Munich to Ethiopia in preparation for next month's London Marathon when the alleged incident took place. Mo Farah posted a video on Instagram saying "The guy is touching me up like crazy. Pure harassment. Pure, pure, harassment," Farah wrote. He later posted the 47-second video on social media with the caption "Sad to see racial harassment in this day and age. 2018...!!!!" In my opinion, it's really disgusting to see racial discrimination in 2018 since there have been so many movements and changes trying to end discrimination against other and what makes it worse is that the discrimination was aimed at one of the best runners Britain has ever had. A similar case is when the Jacksonville Jaguars (an NFL team) were kneeling against the national anthem since it doesn't represent African Americans but this was met with scrutiny by many people, for example, talk show hosts (Joe Walsh in particular) practically shrugged it off and said it didn't mean a thing and that they were acting out even though what the Jaguars were actually doing, in my opinion, was pretty brave to go against their country (so to speak) for their civil rights.
