RACISM of any kind is unacceptable. There are those who will say that there is too much fuss about racism. Some might even say that there is room to use humour, but making fun can be a disguise for causing an offence.
Kicking out racism has been a theme in sport for a number of years. In football, an attempt at zero tolerance has had some success in curbing racial chants off the field, but there is still some way to go for the players and, it would seem, for the president of Fifa.
As Martin Luther King said: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
