Continued racial abuse of Rangers’ Kamara proves it’s a learned behaviour
LAYTH YOUSIF discusses the sinister fallout of the racism faced by footballer Glen Kamara earlier this year, and how sanctions aren’t enough to make change happen
UNACCEPTABLE: The moment when Rangers’ Glen Kamara (left) was confronted by Slavia Prague’s Kudela

SO. You get racially abused by an opponent six months ago. You also get racially abused by a set of supporters so Neanderthal as to beggar belief.

Fast forward half a year, against a team from the same city, you then get abused by kids, who could even be children of the original abusers, in an action that was as shameful as it was depressing. 

The game took place in front of 10,000 schoolchildren. Why? Because adults connected to the club are deemed too racist to be able to watch a football match without resorting to abusing human beings, because of the colour of their skin.
