Racist abuse.

[sherwoodmag]

On Sunday Supplement some panelists suggest point deductions for clubs where abuse occurs.
Sounds a simple remedy doesn't it.

What if a rival supporter come into a home end and deliberately abused a black player to get a club punished,for instance a Mackem could come to SJP and get the Toon relegated or visa versa.

That i think is the big draw back of the idea.

In principle it's a good one, in practicality i just don't see it working.

But there has to be more punishment because the system isn't really combating it at the minute.

This would open a can of worms.

The guilty people need to be identified on camera and banned. There was a case in Brazil last season where racist abuse was being given by the Gremio supporters behind the goal to a black goalkeeper. The tv cameras zoomed in on a lass (one of many) doing it. She made the news and has now lost her job, been socially black balled and generally had her life destroyed.

There haven´t been any more problems with racist abuse at that ground since.

It will not work at all
