EPL Sports News: Ex-England Defender Sol Campbell Wants Points Deductions as Punishment against Racism

Update yourself with the latest sports news in international football and bet on your favourites at 12BET.com now!

THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS – Sol Campbell, a former defender for the England national team, said that UEFA must act on racism through using points deductions as punishment.

Campbell made the statement in light of the racism incident in a match between Serbia and England Under-21s at Krusevac. As England played past through rival Serbia 1-0, racist chants began to pour from the host side. As a result, UEFA charged the Serbian FA due to racist abuse from fans and the England FA due to the players’ improper conduct.

Saying that “knocking six, nine points off” will serve as a wake-up call for national teams, Campbell was firm in his call to end racism in football. He believes that preventing national teams to qualify is an effective way to end racist abuse and prevent the incident in Krusevac from happening again.
