FIFA president Sepp Blatter believes football should 'have the courage' to relegate sides over incidents of racism.
Despite the continuing efforts of anti-racism group Kick It
Out, the English game has been plagued by a spate of problems involving
racism of late - primarily involving people thought to be fans chanting
on public transport - and Blatter insists firmer sanctions is the
solution.
Ballter said: "The biggest problem we've had in recent
days here in this continent is racism, discrimination. It does not
respect the human beings through these demonstrations which are
discriminatory."
"And one day we should be an example. Being an
example doesn't mean just shutting down a stadium or issuing a fine, a
financial penalty, no. It means deducting points, relegating a team. The
moment we have the courage to do that, discrimination will stop."
The
78-year-old also addressed the possibility of introducing an extra
substitution in football matches but would not be drawn into promoting
the idea.
