Racism In Football: Is FIFA & UEFA Doing Enough?



Racism has become a serious issue plaguing football worldwide. However, Europe seems to be where the theater of racial conflict is situated over the years. Racism is where there is discrimination or abuse as a result of skin color. It also occurs in other aspects of human lives but football seems to be the major opportunity for racists to display their self-acclaimed superiority as a result of color. Blacks have been the target of racial abuse over the years. There have been various incidents where black players have been subjected to racial chants and abuses all over Europe and up till now, there has been no severe punishment to player(s) or team(s) who has been found culpable of this unfortunate scenario by FIFA or UEFA.
