Black and minority football players have experienced racism from fans
in England:
Many black players who played in Britain, particularly during the
1970's and 1980's faced racial abuse from the crowds
This abuse was in many forms, and included monkey chanting and
throwing bananas onto the pitch.
Even though, as Rio Ferdinand acknowledges, this is less frequent
during today's matches, it does still happen, particularly in Europe.

football should be no different. Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid manager
You have to look beyond race because as a human being you have to
experience the person from the inside first. Henrik Larsson, Retired
Swedish footballer and current manager
Hating people because of their colour is wrong. And it doesn't
matter which colour does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

Racism and the Law
In the UK, the Race Relations Act (1976) protects individuals from
being discriminated against on the grounds of ethnicity, nationality,
religious beliefs or ethnicity.
This Act does not distinguish between whether racist practices were
done on purpose or not, it is concerned only with the fact that
racial discrimination occurred.
This Act covers discrimination faced in employment, education as
well as in sporting arenas
