Stats show discrimination in football is still on the rise
A new report from Kick It Out yesterday showed that discrimination was on the rise last season for the fifth consecutive season.
There were 469 reports last season, compared to 402 in 2015-16, a 16.7 per cent increase.
The reports of discrimination come from across football — from the Premier League and Women’s Super League down to grassroots fixtures.
