Yeah, reading the report only confirms my view that the real issue here is a wider culture of abusive behaviour rather than racism specifically. In saying that I'm not trying to minimise the racist element in this at all but racism rears it's ugly head in all sorts of shapes and sizes and like any problem it's important to diagnose it correctly so that you can put the right treatment in place.
In this case whatever words were actually said I'm reasonably confident they didn't come from a deeply held belief that people of African descent are actually inferior, although that possibility can't be completely excluded. Rather, I think they were probably said in the heat of moment with the specific intention of just being cruel and hurtful. Of course, the motivation makes no difference at all to the recipient of the insults, but it's a crucial consideration when deciding what to do about it. After all, if you're trying to fix someone you think is racist when the bigger problem is that they have an anger management problem, it's not really going to work is it?
This campaign really needs to look at the issue of why we get so heated on the football pitch in the first place and why we think that justifies being vile to each other.
