Racism in Sports

My current event was about racism in sports. A few soccer players in the UK have been charged with using racist comments towards other teams. Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez was banned for eight games and fined 40,000 Euros. John Terry has also been charged with using racist comments towards other players. These events have reignited concerns about racism in the game. A new program has arisen called "Show Racism the Red Card Campaign." This program focuses on anti-racism in the UK. Some Teams seem to be "dragging their feet" over the issue.

Do you think racism in sports is a problem? If so, what can we do to help prevent the use of racism?

Does a person deserves to be treated like Danny chen was, just because he is different? For what i know U.S.A it was made by different people and race. Just because  a person is different they really have be treated on a different way?

OPS: I'm sorry about my bad English!
