SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD & KICK RACISM OUT OF FOOTBALLThere was a lot of activity against racism in football as a result of the 1997 European Year Against Racism. All the big organisations in football are trying to stamp out racism in the game - the players' union (the PFA), the Football Supporters' Association, the FA, the Premier League, the League Managers' Association and the Football League. The Commission for Racial Equality has also teamed up with a number of organisations and set up the 'Kick it Out' campaign. They can provide your school or team with information and a special magazine featuring wicked stuff on football stars, packed full of good stuff about players. You'll probably learn a thing or two along the way - for instance, did you know that Ryan Giggs' father is black? For more info contact Show Racism the Red Card features Ian Wright, David Ginola, Sol Campbell, David Seaman, Ryan Giggs, Denis Bergkamp, and many others. They talk about how racism should have no place in football and it is supported by a set of study notes containing themes. There is also a booklet with worksheets. The pack is available from SRTRC 25% of professionals are now from African-Caribbean roots. People are now aiming at getting more Asian professionals and more black managers, coaches and referees.
