England soccer players condemn ‘unacceptable’ racist abuse
|(CNN)“It’s 2019. I think there should be a real punishment for this.”
England star Raheem Sterling has called on football’s authorities to do more to tackle racism after he and his teammates were subjected to racist abuse during England’s 5-1 Euro 2020 qualifying win in Montenegro.
Racists chants were reportedly directed at a number of England players, with defender Danny Rose subjected to monkey chants towards the end of the match, when the Tottenham player was being shown a yellow card.
