Cameron aims to 'crush' racism
PM believes problem can be dealt with if people play their part
Swift action is required to "crush" any return of racism to football before it impacts on wider society, Prime Minister David Cameron has said.
The PM said he had seen for himself the influence that behaviour on the pitch could exercise over young children and others off it.
But, speaking at the opening of a Downing Street anti-discrimination summit with former players and football bosses, he expressed confidence that the good work of two decades in battling prejudice in the sport would not be lost.
Mr Cameron said: "If everyone plays their role, then we can easily crush and deal with this problem."
He told the panel, including former England stars John Barnes and Graeme Le Saux, that he often took his young son to local football matches and had seen the impact the game had.
"What happens on the field influences what happens off the field. You see children as young as six imitating the behaviour they see on the field," said Mr Cameron.
"So this is not just important for football, it's important for the whole country."
The Prime Minister said there were many "extraordinary role models" among professional footballers but that problems with racism had "crept back in".
"We want to make sure football is all about a power to do good, rather than anything else," he said.
The event to promote a more "inclusive" sport comes amid fears that high-profile incidents are harming football's image.
Earlier this month Liverpool forward Luis Suarez was forced to apologise for refusing to shake hands with Manchester United's Patrice Evra before the teams' match. Suarez had only recently returned to action for Liverpool following a ban for racially abusing Evra during a game in October.
England star John Terry is due to face trial over the summer on charges of racially abusing QPR's Anton Ferdinand. Terry denies the charges.
The meeting is also looking at homophobia, with Amal Fashanu, who recently made a documentary about homosexuality in the sport, 14 years after her footballer uncle Justin hanged himself, also among those attending.
Mr Cameron said the UK should be proud of the "fantastic achievement" of the campaign to rid the sport of racism over the past two decades - noting that other countries had failed to take similar action.
Act quickly
"But we have some problems still today. We need to act quickly to make sure those problems do not creep back in.
"I hope what we can agree today is to make sure that everybody who has the ability to deal with this issue takes the steps they can. I am sure we can crack this problem."
That included the Government, clubs and other football bodies, he suggested.
Mr Cameron joked that he felt embarrassed coming from question time in the Commons to address the issue as it was "a contact sport that sets an appalling example to people".
Football Association chairman David Bernstein said his organisation was working at all levels from the grass roots up to deal with the issue and was determined not to allow any complacency because of the past success.
The governing body had already shown its willingness to deploy "very tough sanctions where necessary", he said - calling for action across the board from fans to players to managers, chairmen and authorities.

Who knows. I for one was quite surprised to see that John Barnes was on that panel, or that even was a panel, interesting fact to be fair.

The insight Mr Barnes will bring through his years of unjust trauma at the hands of vile fans shall help make this a proactive panel.

Why do you constantly fail to quote properly? I imagine that nothing will be done about the national chants about Park Ji Sung, as they are not abusive towards him. The chant about killing any bastard that gets in our way is metaphorical.

Metaphorical? Given that Manchester United Football Club has such a long history of violence, especially by its players towards fans, I seriously doubt that this chant is "metaphorical."ResurrectionRooney wrote:Alan wrote:[/url]

And less of that bullshit about the national chants about Ji Sung Park, You are moaning about racism, yet your fans will sing songs or make up chants that abuses your own player and his culture, just to have a go at the scousers.
And well you can dress it up any way you want, your fans sing about killing people every week.

Getting all nostalgic about Torres again, happens once every few months, sorry lads.
Can't help but think where we'd be if we had him and Suarez upfront right now, just as planned, he was the definition of a world class striker, tall, strong, athletic, great in the air, superb on the deck, two good feet, explosive pace and power, lethal shot, clinical finisher. No matter how much I hated him when he left, whenever anyone says anything, even now, about "world class centre-forwards", I instantly compare them to Fernando Torres at his peak.
