Statistics show discrimination still thrives in football 

Sterling

Getty Images | Raheem Sterling frequently spoke out against racism in football last season. In one instance, Sterling posted an Instagram update accusing media of fuelling racism through their portrayel of black players. Sterling wrote: "for all the news papers that don’t understand why people are racist in this day and age all i have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity and give all players an equal chance."

Racism is still the most common form of discrimination in football.

Kick It Out feels that incidents at grassroots level and on social media are still under-reported.
