What Are Soccer Leagues Doing To Stop Racism

Welcome to my second post to my blog. Today I'll be talking about how leagues are trying to stop racism. Many soccer leagues are already doing many things to stop it obviously, as I have witnessed before, many leagues are changing home games to away games because of racial history with one team. All teams also give match officials the permission to end games if circumstances become too dangerous for the players and other fans.

In my opinion, there should be advisories on the back of every ticket you purchase to enter a game saying that if you disturb the match in any way that there will be consequences. 

There are many videos of fans throwing smoke bombs onto fields, they might not hurt anyone necessarily but they can end a match and ruin the fun for everybody. As you can see on TV, the bigger the match is or the more all Stars that are on the field, the more authorities there are, so you can see how much precaution the bigger leagues/teams are taking to make sure their athletes stay safe.

It makes me mad to see people go out of their way to buy tickets to a game just to go and put the players and officials in danger. They are not only ruining the sport for the people in the stadiums but also for most people around the world because like I said, soccer is one of the most popular sports on the planet, known and loved by everyone so we have to preserve our beautiful sport so that even more people will be attracted to it instead of disgusted, if these acts continue on in the future.

  1. Serge! Thank you for posting this, it gives lots of specification on how to treat the issue you're discussing. Now, can spectators get not only kicked out, but severely fined, or even, jailed? I don't know if you watched this, but Vitaly (YouTuber) ran onto the field in Argentina during the FIFA World Cup, where he was emprisoned. Just kidding! They put him in a jail cell but didn't take away his phone. Can you give further explanation on why home teams change their games to away because of racial history? I really like this blog post!

  2. Hi Mr.Saba i like your story on racism and sports. Sadly you had to start with soccer and not basketball. Will your blog have certain cases or just racism in general in sports? Are you gonna go in detail with every single sport? Im looking forward to the rest of your blog. Keep it coming young man. You are doing a very good job.

  3. Hey serge I do find that people should not ruin the game for everyone and that the smoke bombs could cause harm if ingested or even if it comes in contact with the person physically, they also will cause delays and concern for the viewers in the future and people will not be able to enjoy the game as much thanks for read I look forward to reading more thank you for spending the time to write this post !!!
