#Chelsea fans facing football ban & criminal charges after being filmed in this #racist incident on a Paris train.https://t.co/PXyzM96dWc— Sky News Australia (@SkyNewsAust) February 18, 2015In order to finally rid the beautiful game of such a foul stain, the actor called for changes to be made throughout the industry.I suppose what we have to do is address directly the conditions that lead to it [racism], he added.What Raheem Sterling was saying is that the way he is written about and spoken about is somehow facilitating that kind of abuse making it seem more reasonable.I think he is right, I think hes nailed it. Furthermore, Stan Collymore said once in a while these conversations flare up. It happened after the incident with the train when the Chelsea fans would not let the black geezer get on.But what Stan was saying is that these conversations flare up and then they disappear again.I suppose culture needs to change deeply and that needs to come from the bottom and the top. Fans ourselves need to demonstrate that racist language is unacceptable.And, on an institutional level, changes need to be made.
