He is also a guy living it everyday in england aswell as italy, I'd say footballs increased problems with racism filters dpwn from societies. It's worth listening to lukaku rashford and sterling on it and not just dismissing their views

To be fair I wouldn't put much faith on those stats, remember the guy who got banned from goodison for being racist when he actually called saha a lazy french poo, being french isn't a race, willing to bet plenty of people use similar language towards schniederlin after all...
In today's society it's very easy for things to be twisted and labelled as a hate crime, assuming gender etc, what people identify as etc

But anyways, unfortunately racism has never been taken seriously, the fact that England got fined more for wearing the poppy on their shirt than Spain did for multiple accounts of racist chanting says it all...

And personally, I think the best response is what Kean did, laugh at them, use it as motivation to perform better, stick it to them where it hurts

At what point did I say that?
Racism is a big issue, I merely pointed out how football in particular doesn't take it seriously enough,
I also suggested my personal view of how to deal with it as an individual,
If you don't feed the troll it eventually dies, laugh at it and starve it of the reaction it wants and eventually it'll stop

Certainly a fair point on football not taking it seriously, i do feel that isolating it as a problem in football would be a mistake. Though as we saw after the sterling incident at chelsea, the media were far too happy to call it a football issue and pretend their own involvement didn't contribute to that incident. It is worth noting Sterlings response at the time echoed your own and he came out looking dignified and made those fans look the idiots they are
 

The behaviour of Calgiari fans is nothing new. The fact that the Italian FA continue to let racism go unpunished is reprehensible. UEFA or FIFA should be conducting their own investigation as should the Italian Prosecution Service. Shame on them.
