UEFA’s punishment of Russia for disturbances at Euro 2012 that included fans assaulting Polish stewards and throwing flares on the pitch was too harsh, says President of the Russian Football Union Sergey Fursenko.

If you tried this in America, marching upon our capital, forget about Sanctions. You would have average Americans taking out their handguns and shooting you!
You don't march upon a foreign capital - ever, for any reason!
The Russians were a guest in Poland. They should have acted with respect.
Response: Uh, somehow I don't think shooting people is better than marching in a capital city. Besides why can't people march? It's not illegal or anything. You're just trying to find a way to blame Russia and failing at it. You don't make a conclusion and then look for proof, you find proof and make conclusions based on it.
If the Poles decided to march through Moscow during the next World Cup, would RT still be defending the marchers or would they be criticizing the Poles for marching in Russia?

yes , this is bias given how much violence Poles have committed against peaceful Russians. But some of the actions of the Russians fans should have been banned. These fines are steep and unfair but Russia has a mere 6 years before hosting the Word Cup of Soccer and Russia has serious problems with hooliganism, racism and racially motivated hate crimes. Russia’s sport authorities need to be less defensive and more pro active.
