Football Racism

The English football making huge strides against eliminating Racism is now seen as a truism. The cases of England and Serbian U-21, John Terry and Anton Ferdinand and Suarez and Evra incident proves that their attempts to kick racism out of football have been nothing but a waste of time.
The Football Association of England (FA) apparently has worked to eliminate racism but their recent verdicts on John Terry and Suarez incidents if compared are pointing fingers back to them only.
On 15th October 2011, Liverpool hosted their fiercest rivals Manchester United. Hours later, Luiz Suarez, Liverpool and Uruguay international striker was accused of racially abusing Manchester United’s Partice Evra. Not even a month after, Suarez was handed a 8 match ban by the FA and charged punishment of a £40,000 fine.
Apart from these punishments Suarez had to face the English media where he was called a RACIST and also the people who stood with Suarez. Never mind.
Terry incident took place 8 days after Suarez’s incident who was accused of hurling racist abuse at QPR defender Anton Ferdinand. Despite this fact, the Englishmen did not face up to his charge in 2011 and the hearings kept on postponing only because Terry could represent his country to which the FA belongs in European country matches which clearly reflected nepotism.
Nepotism is another kind of racism in today’s world and if these bodies who govern the footballing world are like this Racism will only begin and never end.
