I don’t think the comparison is valid but let‘s just assume it is.
The point I am getting is „public discrimination“:
I cannot just imagine that - it actually happens (in other forms, also without consequences)
Just see the situation about male midwifes, kindergarden worker etc.

I am not sure if you get me right - if the teacher stops working or the Football players stop playing and that serves the purpose, I highly encourage them to keep on doing so

I just don’t see it working and thus far (particularly here) nobody has told me about how things would actually work

The only thing that I can see is working is when play is stopped and the uproar of the neutral Fans is so big that they will sort things out themselves. Then again you‘ll have other forms of violence

The UK is the least racist country in the world. There are a few idiots like anywhere else and we should do more.

I actually think football fans are generally more racist than the general population in most countries, though. Football rivalry attracts the hooligan types

that's quite funny coming from someone who insists there is widespread anti-semitism in one of your major parties, and considering some of the driving factors (and rhetoric) behind brexit.

that said, i DO believe that those outright racist scumbags are a relatively small minority, and obviously not representative of all of the UK, but it sure doesn't help to solve the problem when people pretend it's not that bad, just because it's uncomfortable to admit.
i'm just glad it doesn't happen in the bundesliga on such a regular basis, although i'm concerned it might devolve somewhat, given the racism problems in lower leagues, and the general rise of right wing populism and bigotry in germany...

There is widespread anti-semitism in one of our major parties and is one of the reasons the British people decided they weren't fit to lead the country.

well said my friend!

so anti-semitism is 'widespread' in britains largest party, xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment rampant amongst the political right and one of the major factors behind the brexit vote, racist abuse a regular occurrence in the premier league, yet somehow the UK is still the 'least racist country in the world'?
