MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Mexican football got a boost in September when former Brazil and Barcelona star Ronaldinho -- a two-time FIFA player of the year -- joined modest local club Queretaro.

The upbeat mood didn't last long. Even before he had played his first match, he was the subject of a racist attack -- the kind that has become common for black soccer players across Europe.

Mexico has a history of racism on the pitch. But it was largely overlooked until the arrival of Ronaldinho.
