Saddened by footballer Danny Rose's recent comments on how he's looking forward to getting out of the beautiful game in four years or so, as a result of all the racism he's subjected to from certain 'fans'. The fact that the treatment he receives is so hurtful, even after all his years in the game, is a reminder of just how vile such racism is. I naively thought that the problem had been solved, at least in the EPL, but unless you're at the real cutting edge and facing the nastiness you just can't know.
Deeply impressive to consider how so many of those at the cutting edge succeed despite all this. Wonderful to see Raheem Sterling, particularly, being prepared to shine a light on the situation and demand change, especially after the obnoxious treatment he's been subjected to in the press.
