Sharp rise in football racism as incidents go up by more than 50% in one year
 

More than 150 football-related racist incidents were reported to police last season, Home Office figures show, a rise of more than 50% on the year before and more than double the number from three seasons ago.

The figures, revealed by Home Office minister Susan Williams, show three years of increases in reported incidents across England and Wales, with a sharp rise from 98 to 152 between the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons. Previously there had been a decline in reported incidents of racially charged non-violent abuse, such as chanting or verbal intimidation, from 99 during the 2013-14 season, to 78 in 2014-15, 68 in 2015-16 and 70 in 2016-17.

Reports of this nature are usually made by the clubs, where they have been alerted to incidents, or collected by police themselves.

We live in an increasingly right wing world where hate is spewed out by world leaders, it's no surprise to see that racism in football is rising.

It's hardly anywhere near what it was, highlighting the fact that it's on the rise again will only increase the problem.

Let the police do thier job quetly on this.

I don't think we should ever be quiet about racism tbh....

Ah, I don't know about that..:shrug:

Sometimes the youth of today can be easily led.so sometimes it's better not to highlight certain things :shrug:

You mean since the last lurch right in the early 80s?

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you edit please.
