Stopping Racism in

FootballFrom Junaid Hussain

Luis Suárez remains unrepentant about racially abusing Patrice Evra in 2011 and claims the case brought against him

was "false".Suárez was suspended for eight matches and fined £40,000

by the Football Association over two years ago for repeatedly calling Evra "negro" during Liverpool and Manchester United's

1-1 draw at Anfield in October 2011.In the FA's report, it is stated Suárez pinched Evra's skin and "admitted use of the word 'negro' when speaking to Mr Evra",

which was deemed as not conciliatorySuárez refused to shake hands with a player he racially

abusedAstonishingly, Liverpool wore T-shirts in support of the

Uruguayan at Wigan Athletic and Suárez refused to shake hands with Evra when the pair came face to face in the reverse fixture.Suárez has never apologised to Evra and does not even regard

his behaviour as a "mistake".He told Sport890 AM: "Let me tell you, I've made only two

mistakes in my career. My first was when I was playing for Ajax and I bit an opponent. My second was when I bit (Branislav)

Wednesday's meeting between Kick It Out and a selection of football's leading authorities is a scheduled get-together of the anti-racism charity's trustees

Racist players 'should be sacked' according to new planFootballers guilty of racist abuse should be sacked by their clubs and banned for up to nine months, according to the body behind

plans for a black players' union. The Society of Black Lawyers has put out a 10-point plan to tackle racism.

It wants matches to be abandoned if there is racial abuse from fans. The organisation is also demanding referee Mark Clattenburg be suspended while

claims he made racial comments to Chelsea players are investigated. Continue reading the main story “The FA itself must set a clear set of sanctions against racist abuse on the field that reflects the

seriousness of the offence” Society of Black Lawyers

In addition, the society has also warned the Football Association and Tottenham Hotspur that it will make a complaint to police unless action is taken against what it says is anti-Semitic abuse taking place at White Hart Lane.

The document was published ahead of a meeting between the FA, Professional Footballers' Association, Premier League and trustees of anti-racism body Kick It Out on

Wednesday. The plan calls for:

a minimum six to nine-month ban for racial abuse, rising to a five-year ban for a third offence any fines going directly to Kick It Out to fund grassroots anti-racism initiatives

the creation of representative associations for black players, managers and coaches guidance for referees to send off players using racist abuse and the power to call off games where the crowd is using such abuse

a 20% quota at all levels of the FA, PFA, clubs as well as football agents and referees racial abuse to be a matter of gross misconduct incorporated into players' contracts

clubs to invest in the personal education of all players, including university or college education recording referees and assistants during matches to pick up any possible abuse by players.

a system for reporting racial incidents to be set up with details of such incidents, both on and off the pitch, published each year

The society is involved in talks to create a Black Players' Association with some professionals, claiming the football authorities are not doing enough to represent them or to tackle racism in the

sport. The PFA recently introduced its own six-point action plan but the society says this will prove

"ineffective". The legal group says more needs to be done to engage with black players and adds that recent

punishments for racist abuse given to Chelsea captain John Terry and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez have left some black footballers disillusioned.

Terry was banned for four matches and fined £220,000 by the FA for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, while Suarez received an eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester

United full-back Patrice Evra.

The society described those sanctions as "a slap on the wrist", adding: "The FA itself must set a clear set of sanctions against racist abuse on the field that reflects the seriousness of the offence." It also says it will report any anti-Semitic chants at Tottenham games to the Metropolitan Police unless the club and FA show they are acting. Peter Herbert, who chairs the group, said: "In discussions with members of the Jewish community, we were made aware that this practice is still continuing and it has to come to an end. "If neither Tottenham FC nor the FA are willing to take a stand then SBL will report the matter to the Metropolitan Police Service for investigation and, if necessary, prosecution. The report will be made if this behaviour does not cease by 20 November. We will have monitors in attendance to observe what occurs." Wednesday's meeting between Kick It Out and a selection of football's leading authorities is a scheduled get-together of the anti-racism charity's trustees.

Should we sacked racism footballer from the Club?

Yes because they are showing disrespectful to the fans, team mates and manager because football player are here to play for their club. It will hurt to the fans because they love sport and likes seeing footballer who are respectful to everyone when they are here to play football.

In UK we wanted to show that we aren’t racism and we are all equal. We don’t want to see any abuse when we play footballer, we wanted to change racism footballer now.

Ferdinand denied he was being racist after responding to a tweet describing Chelsea's Ashley Cole as a "choc ice".

Ferdinand, 33, has until 16:00 BST on 2 August to respond to the charge.A statement on the FA website read: "The allegation is that the player acted in a way which was improper and/or bought the game into disrepute by making comments which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race."

Chelsea and England left-back Cole appeared in court as a defence witness for team-mate John Terry, who was cleared of racially abusing Ferdinand's younger brother, Anton, in a game on 23 October last year.

Terry has since been charged with improper conduct by the FA for the alleged comments he made to Anton Ferdinand, a charge he has vowed to contest.

Terry, 31, is alleged to have used "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour" in the 23 October match.

Yes – Because he uses racism word of a colour and

race. No – I think they should give him warning because

I think Rio Ferdinand done this because a year before Ashley Cole ( he is the one who was abused by Rio Ferdinand ) abused his younger brother Anton but wasn’t fined. This meant Rio Ferdinand because it isn’t fair, he done this because he wanted to show that Anton has a older brother who is strong where no one can’t say anymore racism abuse word to Anton.

Is it right to fine Rio Ferdinand?
