[Video] Why Did UEFA Award the Euro 2012 Championship to Two Countries with Massive Racism Problems?

Here’s the background on BBC Panorama’s ‘Stadiums Of Hate’ program above:
A BBC documentary has flagged up Poland and Ukrainian football’s problems with racism, antisemitism and violence on the eve of UEFA Euro 2012. Here’s how the big hitters on Twitter have reacted to the screening of the damning footage.

With just days to go before the kick-off of the Euro 2012 championships, a hard-hitting BBC Panorama documentary has revealed shocking new evidence of racist violence and antisemitism at the heart of Polish and Ukrainian football. In the show, which went out in Britain on the evening of 28 May, a group of Asian fans are shown being attacked on the terraces of a Ukrainian premier league match and anti-Semitic chanting is captured on film at games in Poland. The show has cast fresh doubt on the joint hosts’ suitability to stage the high-profile football tournament.

    from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
