Manchester United takeover: Club still negotiating sale with multiple parties
BBC NewsAPR 2 2023
There is a deep history of racism in football. While predominately occurring in Europe, racial slurs and racist chants have grown around the world, exacerbated by social media and spectators' belief in freedom of speech. The world is watching racism in real-time while federations ignore the egregious abuse and talk around it. When they don't take a firm stance, they implicitly signal that the hateful treatment of players is acceptable.
FIFA recognizes the deeply troubling racist trend that's occurring in football. It has taken a strong stance against the acts as they have no place in football. At all levels of play, when these incidents occur, the match must be stopped and the actions of the players and spectators addressed. In an effort to advance the Association's stance on this matter, an anti-racism task force has been developed to include Vinicius Junior to assess and determine the best path forward for football.
