The Issue of race has been a big issue in the World's Game in Recent years. While fans threw peanuts and taunted African players, what has FIFA done to change the behavior of fans? FIFA states that they want to start fining clubs, deducting points from clubs, suspend and/or exclude clubs and Players if fans acts or even some players acts continue. These racist acts are not new and have been happening for awhile, where was FIFA when Marco Zoro, Samuel Eto'o, or Thierry Henry were victims of these acts? They state that they have been aware of the issue for awhile but only recently has it been a big issue of interest. If some players threatening to leave the pitch, not bringing their families to matches anymore, or making commercials about the matter isn't a big enough clue, I don't know what is. We need to remind fans that Players are people also who just decided to play a sport while they were young. Since fans are Rreally supportive of their clubs, punishing the clubs for racists acts is a good choice.
