The Japan Professional Football League said on Friday it had decided to fine Yokohama F Marinos five million yen ($A52,150) over racist behaviour by one of their supporters.

Yokohama banned the teenager indefinitely soon after he waved a banana towards a Brazilian player in the match against Kawasaki Frontale on August 23.

Yokohama said the fan admitted his behaviour towards Kawasaki's attacker Renato was an "act of provocation" during the 2-0 win.

The incident came about five months after the J-League forced Urawa Reds to hold a game behind closed doors as a penalty for their supporters displaying a racist banner at a stadium entrance, which was not removed until after the March 8 home game.

I don't know what is problem with FIFA they are over doing the whole banana thing fans can intimidate the opposing player as long as they don't use a forbidden word

Nothing racist about a bannana

Potassium is good for Muscles and Soccer fitness , the player must have been weak

white people are the only race that can be racist

Let's analyze this from the Jurisprudential point of view, shall we? The fact that the Japan Professional Football League decided to fine Yokohama F Marinos for some questionable action(s) of some fans is indicative of a healthy introspection. This way, it reminds teams as well as fans to mind their manners.

I'm in no way excusing such racist actions because it is inherently wrong. Period. And I hope that the fine and dissemination of knowledge on the lack of ethicality of such actions is not conducive to inter-cultural exchanges with other nationalities. It reflects unkindly on overall Japanese population and begets false assumptions.Some European teams should learn from us.

So I'm glad the JPFL intervened.
