Say No to Racism - The campaign is to eliminate racism, discrimination and intolerance
from football.The No to Racism message aims to increase public awareness of intolerance and discrimination in football, as well as developing ideas and strategies on how to fight them. On the club competition matchday dedicated to the campaign, team captains wear No to Racism armbands, anti-racism messages are played over clubs' public address systems and a video containing player testimonials backing the campaign is shown in stadiums. A No to Racism pennant is also prominently on show, held by players. At the start of every match, 'No to Racism' banners are prominently displayed on the pitch.
This campaign has a very strong concept however, I feel more can be done, racism is just one part of the issue! what about people who have disabilities and people who are treated differently in the way they look. Also, footballers who are scared of coming out gay as they think it could potentially affect their career shouldn't feel this way as everyone is equal!
