Troy Deeney: Watford captain receives alleged racist abuse on social media
I wonder why they won't say whatever they have to say direct to his face?

England's Raheem Sterling says players should not leave pitch over racist abuse
I think he's right. And I think he's providing real leadership on this issue.

We can see how seriously the issue is being taken here:
Football team walk off the pitch after linesman made alleged racist comments to player - but he's still allowed to officiate
Wythenshawe Town manager suspended over 'racism' walk-off

I've had a drink in their club loads of times and played a few games there years ago as it was used as a venue for finals from the Sunday leagues. It's slap bang in a large working class estate and the team has been going for years and is well respected. Fair play to the manager , shame on the league .

... and it looks as though other people are beginning to smell it ...
Chelsea have a serious deep-rooted generations-old problem with racism – it’s time for them to prove otherwise

Don't think we need The Sun to start lecturing on racism tbh . They didn't have anything to say when Chelsea Independents who had an advert for AFA were attacked and stabbed .

No problem - let's listen to Chelsea fan Jay Bailey instead:

Speaking on social media, Bailey added: "It makes me feel 'wow, if I can't be safe surrounded by our own fans, where am I safe?'

No mention either that 3 of the Salah lot were dealt with before they entered the stadium. No balance of problems at other clubs and no viewpoints from the vast majority of Chelsea supporters.
Apart from being from The Sun for heavens sake the article appears to have been written by a 12 year old and why anyone would quote it to prove a point is beyond me.

The Independent's chief sports writer weighed in on this issue a few months ago:
If we’re serious about football being a force for good then we need to talk about racism all the time
We can all see how seriously the English football authorities are taking the matter here:
English football chiefs the FA, Premier League and EFL keep no record of racism issues

Hmm that the Sun getting all righteous on the topic is a bit hard to swallow...
What a world we live in. Brexit has stoked up xenophobia and racism in the UK to levels comparable to the 60's.
Then everyone suddenly acknowledges it's wrong in football and it's about time we tackled it.

No problem - feel free to try and swallow this instead:

The author of the piece - who appears to have no connection with The Sun - is also referred to here:

Presumably Hennessey's German teammate who published the photograph showing him giving a Nazi salute, complete 'Hitler toothbruch moustache' sign, is able to point him in the direction of educational materials that will assist him in his quest?

He's "innocent" !!!... I think I can see why people don't want some of the individuals involved in this sort of behaviour to have to their details identified ...

Colin Wing, 60, insisted he did not call the Manchester City forward a 'black c**t' instead claiming he had shouted 'manc c**t' at the player as he collected a ball from the side lines.
Wing said on December 10: 'I'm deeply ashamed by my own behaviour and I feel really bad. But I didn't call him a black ****, I called him a Manc ****.
'I've been going to Chelsea for 50 years now and, because of where I sit, I'm picked up on the camera most weeks. If I had a history of saying this sort of thing I would've been caught by now.

One hopes that this will not stop the organisation from continuing to challenge racism in the football industry:

are we there yet?
My step grandson (dual heritage) was recently on a U16s football tour in Italy. One game was abandoned... remember these are U16s... due to racist chanting.
That's despicable
SGS's team fielded 3 black players as well as himself and the team walked off as one when the chanting began. Horrible, totally unacceptable behaviour at any age but at that age group?

Italy is a mess on that front, numerous high profile cases of players getting abuse and walking off, only to be criticised and in some cases sanctioned by the FIGC (Italian FA). A few years ago at a game, some fans who were monkey chanting at a black player were shouted at and abused at by groups who only minutes before had been making fascist chants and doing the 'roman salute'..... Fucked up place......

The problem seems to be happening in adult football too:Racist chants at kids footie matches.
Depressing.
