Racism in sports: A brief review
Journal Title: Geosport for Society - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
In today’s society people from different backgrounds are living together but due to different reasons sometimes they have to deal with racism. We are living now in a very diverse society where people of all races, colours and backgrounds are working, studying and enjoying life together. Unfortunately sometimes different forms of racism appear and have a negative impact in some people lives. Sport is not immune to racism and especially black athletes are subject to discrimination in access to professional sports. It is highlighted that most cases of football racism cases are related to race (668), more than 50% of the total number of cases. The next type of racism is faith-bearing (235), followed by sexual orientation (217), gender (107), and disability (43).
