The blame game

Like the vast majority of football fans, whether affiliated to Chelsea or not, I was appalled by the Paris Metro incident - incensed by the actions of a handful of morons that would, no doubt, heap further shame on the game. However, with the dust having settled somewhat, it's worth reflecting on the fact that racism is not a problem specific to football at all - on the contrary, it remains endemic in contemporary society. The likes of Kick It Out will be fighting a losing battle to eradicate racist abuse from the game as long as there appears to be little obvious appetite for robustly tackling it in any other sphere of life.
