Wrong then you stop the good fans seeing there team how is that fair ? If anyone had any sense they'd simply monitor the stands and single out the racial abusers that's hard how do you think Russia stopped the them in the world cup ?

[@christinacumba787]

I agree with this. And Josh Cox, if the good fans will not be motivated to root out the bad fans because everyone is affected by the players choice to protest, then the issue is deeper in society that I thought. I do agree with your second point, Josh Cox, but the problem is that the people in the same positions of power equivalent to the Russians that enacted and enforced those rules are NOT doing those things. At some point, the players have to do something because they are not being properly protected.

[@christinacumba787]

@The Big Bad White Man That is absurd. If a terrorist calls my job and threatens to blow the building up, they better be punished. Free speech is a means of protection from the federal government persecution, not from the state or personal level. Learn your history.

[@christinacumba787]

@The Big Bad White Man Wow. You are daft. Free speech, which would then include threats (terrorist threats included) should be protected in your eyes, right? There is no speech that would not be protected, right? Who cares about mass panic or indoctrination of fear, right? Free speech! Also, free speech is protected from FEDERAL INTERVENTION. It is not protected from state, personal, or business space. If you are in another person's business space (a stadium, or store for example) and they have RULES AGAINST HATE SPEECH, then you are legally obligated to abide by the rules they have presented, leave their establishment, or ignore the rules set and risk legal consequence. That is the history you have missed. Free speech is not protected in those spaces. It is only protected in the form that the government (federal) may not persecute any group or person based on their speech. However, state, personal, and businesses are not a, "protected" free speech space. Sorry bud. You can go to jail for what you say. So please don't give me that, "buh my free speeches are invincible" rhetoric. Know your history and your legal rights.

[@christinacumba787]

@The Big Bad White Man Ahahahahahahahahahahaha! That compilation is the best you could muster? How sad and pathetic. You even did your best to avoid the fact that when you are in another's place of business, your, "free speech" is not protected. Especially since this happened at an arena venue. You are absolutely an idiot and your replies prove just such. Gg At least youtube comment section was good for providing me a great and hearty laugh. Thank you for that.

Paul Elliott was talked over time and time again without being allowed to finish his points in the first half of the video. That's something Sky should consider fixing for next time.

[@neverbummer]

Pretty misleading title as they bring up the idea and shut it down and offer alternatives immediately. Refusing to play almost entices the racists to continue what they’re doing. That’s them winning. I like the idea of holding up the game until security addresses the issue. At the end of the day everyone there has come to watch a game. Holding up play would stop people from making these offenses and motivate people to point out the offender.

[@xXSulliesXx]

Never Bummer I agree, if any of the players see members of the crowd racially abusing other players it should be highlighted instantly and the security should deal with them, and the players shouldn’t get in trouble for stopping playing in order to point this out as this is an issue that we must tackle together

[@JononoBro]

The non racially abuse team mates should all band together and refuses to play in solidarity. Plus any fan caught being racially abusive should be banned from attending football games at every stadium for at least 5 years.

[@rushpan93]

@The Big Bad White Man Yea I've got nothing better to do. Nope, football is not for everyone. Severely mentally challenged people (unless properly supervised) , pregnant women, rapists, racists and murderers amongst other people cannot be allowed into stadiums to watch a football match. You do realize you call all coloured people "not English" and then proceed to call people that you believe are English to be "white English"? You never learned about redundancy in your big bad white school, did you? What's next, round circles?

[@BB-mm5gk]

@Ted Bundy Gordon Strachan saying we've cracked it, meaning racism is not a problem in the UK, is what invalidates his argument. Nothing to do with his age or anything else, but if anyone thinks there is no racism in football in England, it is very hard to take those people seriously.

[@BB-mm5gk]

@Ted Bundy what do you want me to address? The view that there is no racism in English football? There are numerous very recent incidents that provide all the evidence you need. He's simply wrong, whether he's 22 or 102. Not sure what else you need me to say, my original comment addressed the inaccurate "we've cracked it" statement, nothing to do with age.

[@BB-mm5gk]

@Ted Bundy a young Bournemouth fan was prosecuted today for raciially abusing Spurs players, a man in his 50s was prosecuted a few weeks ago for racially abusing Raheem Sterling, who plays for the team this man actually "supports". Are Home Office figures good enough evidence? They say incidents of racism last season were 50% higher than the previous one, and have been on the rise the last 3 seasons. There are many many examples.

Why is it ok to give footballers abuse in other forms but not racism? That’s not to say racism is ok, but footballers take some horrible abuse in many forms, about their family, height, weight etc skin colour is another thing to add to that list. I think it’s wrong to solely focus on racism in football, instead abuse as a whole

[@jamesw5131]

kenwardens9 I’m a white guy so can’t really be certain in saying this but I think racism affects the players and is discussed more because it’s a more deep rooted hatred than simply saying someone’s a bit fat or a bit small or whatever

[@kenwardens9]

James W yeah that’s a fair point, the history behind it makes it more relevant. But at the same time I think there’s stuff said and shouted at footy games which is arguably worse than racism, which just gets overlooked and dubbed as “its part of the game”

In my opinion players should just continue playing, players are taught to ignore all kinds of insults from fans, grow a backbone and have a thick skin, these people will get due punishment once the match is over, by walking off the pitch it just gives power to those causing trouble, why let it get under your skin or protest?

[@rushpan93]

@The Big Bad White Man Well it's like they say, it isn't a crime if there's no witness. Ergo, it isn't white racism if no one ever reports it. Really, you are the first person to have ever talked this up so much. And unfortunately for you, I'm whiter than most people in my country. So, I've never had to hear any "names" to throw tantrums for. You pathetic weasel of a leper on the other hand, I'm not so sure about you.

[@rushpan93]

@The Big Bad White Man So you feel the need to say "I'm not the first person" twice, and you think I'm in the echo chamber? And oddly enough, it seems you are the one who has trouble making sense of words! The crime bit was an analogy to racism. Without witnesses, neither exists. Read it again, dimwit. I know it takes longer to follow words for your ilk but it seems I definitely overestimated your grasp over the language. And what in hell is a Pajeet? If you're trying to be mean, at least use names that I'd actually take a little offence to!

[@rushpan93]

@The Big Bad White Man Yep reiterating your point twice, in a single line? You must be incredibly stupid to not be able to understand what echo has to do repetition, which you've used in the most pointless fashion imaginable. You want answer to your point then quit negating what I say and bring your own point to the table. It definitely isn't a crime without witness, evidence or report. It definitely wouldn't have been deduced as a meteor impact having had wiped out nearly all life, without proper evidence. And it definitely isn't white racism without evidence, reports and witnesses coming forward and expressing so. All you've done so far to debate my point is declare my statements false without any counterpoint as to why that should be the case. By the way, you are absolutely the first person in the world to have brought this up. What makes you think the KKK have the same agenda as you? Have you read their complete manifesto? Go and take a look there and come back if you believe what they believe and vice versa. Oh and calling people names that have nothing to do with them is utterly stupid of you. It's like calling a monkey a pig and expecting it to be offended by it. You really are not very intelligent for me to have to question it. Do you really think a person who uses "low IQ response" like a patented catchphrase can be considered even remotely intelligent?

[@Suiram82]

Refusing to play would only help the abusers getting it their way. I'm not even sure most of them are racists, I think they just are willing to do, or in this case say, anything to help their team win and to get in the head of their opponents. So the best is probably to beat them and address it after the game just like they did.

Players shouldn't have to walk off if it happens the game should be stopped and the fans have to go and the game continues whether that's the home or away fans The next time it happens that team loses a home game and have to play away and operate at a 3 strike rule meaning if you lose 3 home games in a season due to this issue the you forfeit your home games for the following season In international football where you will rarely have this issue 3 times in a season that country should be under investigation for 3 years and if there is a pattern over that period that Country forfeit their right to home games in qualifying for the following tournament At that point the fans will police themselves and point out the individuals who are committing the crime and then those individuals get kicked out the stewards can only do so much we as fans need to take control of this if a player points out that he is being abused from a certain area send a police presence over there to protect the fans and give them the confidence to point the individuals out If we really want to solve this issue there has to be zero tolerance
