Zero tolerance to racism
Delroy Alexander, Chairman of Sacred Sports Foundation speaks out racism in European football.
On first hearing the "Selection Manifesto 12" from a powerful Zenit St. Petersburg fans group, Landscrona, I like many was quick to dismiss it as an idiots' intent on promoting some obscure and objectionable views.
However, the demand for the sacking and non-recruitment of black players and exclusion of gays is part of a serious selection policy proposal, intended to influence and set the agenda at a club with a less than stellar record on integration.
As this year of racial torment in football comes to an end, we are faced with a clear and stark reality. A substantial minority of our game continues to harbour deep seated and unacceptable discriminatory views.
