The fact that there is a higher level of media coverage on this topic (then there has been before) means there is a problem to be resolved and we should be proud of the level of coverage racism in football is current receiving.
. What you are saying might carry a bit more weight if the facts didn't show differently. Since the raised media coverage the numberof incidents on and off the
pitch seems to have increased and not decreased. Hence the media coverage I's having a counter productive effect. I know there is an argument that it is just that more of the incidents are now being reported to officials, but I don't think that's the case. I think it's more like when a kid wants to and does exactly what they are forbidden to do. Sometimes ignoring insults I's the best way to deal with them. Showing others these insults affect you just pushes them to use them more often.

It's interesting how none of the recent incidents have involved small clubs or low-profile players. Would it be cynical to suggest that the 'racial claims' are made up and/or exaggerated, just to get an opponent a lengthy ban therefore giving their team an advantage in the premier league?

First I've heard of it. But then again, the 'anti-racists' won't make such a fuss about a lesser known player/club as it won't keep them in the limelight as much.

Quite right. An accusation is all thats needed and you are "bang to rights" even if found not guilty (unlikely) the stigma remains. Its a selfish and nasty thing to do to another person and accusations are common. The sad thing is it dilutes the impact of where there really is racism,
