71: How Can Football Fight Racism?

On this week's episode, Patrick is joined by Sam Obaseki to talk about football's response to the global political protests following the killing of George Floyd. We discuss the contribution of players, clubs, and football authorities to the process of removing racism both from the game and society, and the steps we, as fans, can take to move towards racial justice.

If you can, please consider signing petitions (for example those seeking justice for Shukri Abdi and Belly Mujinga), and writing to politicians or even your football club to demand specific commitments on tackling these problems. Whatever you've heard, sport has always been political, and governments and businesses can be forced to change their behaviour if we exert enough pressure.
