UEFA takes on racism

UEFA came out strong today against racism but threatening teams with exclusion if they do not control their fans. They also encouraged refs to "...wake up - because the referee can do a lot in a specific game. Either to stop it, to listen, to report and eventually to abandon the game if that kind of abuse is taking place."

UEFA is hoping to get the European Parliament to sign off on their new proposal to toughen action against racism, thus making it an EU resolution.
