RACISM IN FOOTBALL

Early day motion 1760, tabled 16 October 2002 by Colin Burgon (Labour). Signed by 82 members.

That this House supports the aims of the 'Kick It Out' campaign against racism in football; deplores the fact that black players are subjected to vile racist abuse both in Britain and Europe; and calls upon the relevant governing bodies, including UEFA, to suspend those clubs that fail to act decisively against racist behaviour.
