London, England, United Kingdom
Football has identified the majority of its black players have been subjected to racial abuse. Sunday 11th July 2021 should have been a historical event for Gareth South Gates England Squad who led England nto the European Cup Final (our 1st major tournament in 55 years). Throughout the tournament the England team displayed, determination, skill and respect for the teams they played against and the English fans in their attempt to bring the cup home.
Despite a valiant effort, Italy took the match through penalties. Their loss brought chaos and disruption to the country with us witnessing some of the worst racist attacks carried out verbally, physically and mentally on young black footballers and fans alike.
"Show Racism the Red Card" and its founder Ged Grebby have worked tirelessly to stamp out racism in football and other sports, and the funds raised through this fundraiser will go directly to the charity and support them in driving the publicity needed to try and establish stronger laws to be passed against racists across football and other sports. "Show Racism the Red Cards" mission is to stamp out RACISM AGAINTS PLAYERS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
