Arguments Against Racism In Football

1250 Words5 Pages

Lots of people worldwide believe that racism in football is a huge problem. There are many examples of both players being racist to each other, and fans being racist towards the players. There have been various cases where a football player has had to walk off the pitch midgame because they couldn’t tolerate racial comments coming from the fans. Whilst I’m sure some people disagree with this, I personally do see it as a growing problem, and that it’s something that should be addressed. When CSKA Moscow played Man City during a champions league game held in Moscow in 2013, they shouted racial abuse at Man City’s Yaya Touré. This resulted in the amount of CSKA fans being limited to 5000, when the second leg of the game was held in Manchester. …show more content…

French Man United striker Eric Cantona launched at a Crystal Palace supporter in a kung-fu style attack, aiming the studs on his boot towards the supporter’s chest. He also threw several punches towards the fan. In reports afterwards Cantona had said that the fan made racial remarks towards him during the game. Cantona was given a 9-month ban from playing football. Although racism in football is a huge problem, I personally believe that attacking the suspects is definitely not the way to combat the …show more content…

This is an anti- racism campaign which attempts to show people in Europe why racism in football is unacceptable and how we can try and put a stop to it. Many supporters of this campaign include Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell, Steven Gerrard, Kolo Touré and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have been, and still, are very big names in football. So far, the campaign has been very successful in their mission and have started selling T-Shirts and other apparel with pictures of the ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ slogan on them. Thousands of the clothing items have been sold through the United Kingdom and Europe. Though the campaign has been very successful, I believe racism in football will never be completely

  • The Consequences Of Donald Sterling In The NBA

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    There is a lot of talk that there are many fines and ways to punish an athlete or official for some sort of misconduct that they have done. One instant that shows that the NBA ended up not implanting a strict enough punishment was with Donald Sterling. The NBA commissioner stated that, “Donald Sterling has been banned for life by the NBA in response to racist comments that he made, also he will be forced to sell the franchise and a fine of $2.5 million.” The NBA was going the right path because they were punishing someone for racist comments. Being banned and forced to sell the Clippers franchise was a perfect example of the consequences that might come if you engage in racist activities or say racist comments.

  • The Rooney Rule: Underrepresentation Of Minority Groups In The NFL

    1402 Words  | 6 Pages

    In 2003, the Rooney Rule was put into effect in remembrance of Dan Rooney, longtime head of the NFL's Diversity Committee and owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since then, the NFL has historically struggled to hire minority coaches and executives, despite about 70% of players being black (Neuman, 2022). The Rooney Rule was introduced to address this problem by providing more opportunities for minority candidates to be considered for head coaching positions. The rule ensures that each team must interview at least one, now two, persons of color, increasing the chances of people of color being hired. With this policy, the NFL aims to diversify the leadership of the league and address the issue of the underrepresentation of minority groups in such

  • Sir Alex Ferguson's Autocratic Style

    1336 Words  | 6 Pages

    In the dramatic world of football where passions run wild and tempers run high, it comes as no surprise that even managers themselves may find themselves heatedly caught up in the game and Sir Alex Ferguson is no exception to this rule. Known for his blistering temper, Ferguson is an unyielding disciplinarian unafraid to criticize his players and admonish them, should they perform badly. Indeed, his temper is so renowned that the term “hair-dryer treatment” was coined in an article by The Guardian; a reference to the scoldings he gave his players in the dressing room where the force of Ferguson’s yelling was likened to the explosive hot air from hair-dryers. Ferguson’s fiery temperament is unparalleled- football fans from all around the

    Racism in team names such as the Cleveland Indians and the Washington Redskins causes a lot of controversy because of the meaning of the name because it obscures the reality of Native Americans experiences, traditions, and place in U.S. history. Some people think that this isn’t really a problem but others want the teams to change their names because of how much they are bothered by it. I do not think teams should have to change their names because if the NFL or NBA doesn’t see a problem with the names then there probably isn’t a problem with it. People are probably over reacting over this thing. Racism in sports occurs because the teams don't think that the team name is a problem so they just use the name.

  • Argumentative Essay On Racism

    1537 Words  | 7 Pages

    Racism Racism is the conviction that qualities and capacities can be credited to individuals basically on the premise of their race and that some racial gatherings are better than others. Bigotry and separation have been utilized as capable weapons empowering apprehension or disdain of others in times of contention and war, and notwithstanding amid monetary downturns. Racism is also a very touchy subject for some people, as issues concerning free speech and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights come into play. Some people argue that talking about supporting racial discrimination and prejudice is just words and that free speech should allow such views to be aired without restriction. Others point out that these words can lead to some very dire and serious consequences (the Nazi government policies being one example).
