NOT writing about racism in sport for a few weeks feels like a record. However, it has reared its ugly head again not just in football but in tennis and cricket these past few days.
It is ludicrous that Mario Balotelli was booked for pointing out the racial abuse being hurled at him from the stands. It once again sends out the message that there is no point in reporting racism in the game because you as the victim end up being punished.
As Everton’s Mason Holgate found out at the end of 2017, the scrutiny falls on the abused and not the abuser and, until that changes, it will only get worse.
