Take it from a wider perspective Em... you cannot properly reflect the true source of racism and the underlying motivations by focussing on Football only... Racism is a social disease and can only be addressed on a social level... Football just embraces am large chunk of society, so the two overlap. You cannot do anything to take racism out of football, you have to take it out of society.
And we in the UK have done more in the last 20 years to virtually eliminate racism from our society (you cannot expect to completely eradicate it) that we deserve a Nobel Prize.
