Racism is part of society, not just football. There's only one way to stamp down on it and that's hard, and that's obviously what FIFA have done.

Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?

I am so disappointed. It is a shame for football that in the year 2006, you still have racism.

Racism is taught in our society... it is not automatic. It is learned behavior toward persons with dissimilar physical characteristics.

But, damn. We are definitely not living in a post-racist society and I can imagine there are a lot of people out there wondering how much of a society we are living in at all.

Racism is the most serious problem facing football today. This declaration is a solid foundation to kick racism out of football. Equal opportunity is a right, not a privilege.
