Wayne Rooney emphasized the need for stricter punishments, like deducting league points, to effectively combat racism in football. He shared a personal experience where a player broke down in tears after facing racial abuse. Following recent incidents involving players being racially targeted, Rooney called for stronger actions and education for society, especially among children and families. He insisted that financial repercussions for clubs would help deter ignorance among fans, urging for serious strategies to be developed in collaboration with the right organizations.
I had it in DC with one of my players who got racially abused and he was crying on my chest. I was holding him as he was crying on my chest.
There needs to be a strong campaign for society - for children, parents and grandparents - to be educated.
You have to hit the clubs because that's the only way it will stop. If there is ignorance, the fans will still do it.
You have to hit the clubs by taking off points or hit them in the pocket and take money away from them. Otherwise, it will keep on going.
