"Footballers guilty of racist abuse should be sacked by their clubs and banned for up to nine months, according to the body behind plans for a black players' union.
The Society of Black Lawyers has put out a 10-point plan to tackle racism.
It wants matches to be abandoned if there is racial abuse from fans.
The organisation is also demanding referee Mark Clattenburg be suspended while claims he made racial comments to Chelsea players are investigated."

Tottenham could face police complaint because of fans' chant
"Tottenham have been accused of "insulting people's intelligence" by attempting to justify the chanting of the word "Yid" by their supporters.
The head of the Society of Black Lawyers says he will complain formally to police if Spurs fail to take action within a fortnight to stop the chants.
In a statement, Spurs said their fans used the term as a "defence mechanism" against anti-Semitism from rivals.
But Peter Herbert said this "wouldn't make sense to a six-year-old".
Oldham footballer Dean Furman, who is Jewish, has also told BBC Sport there should be a "zero tolerance" approach and fans using the chant should be immediately thrown out of stadiums."

This is what you get with a Union for black and ethnic minority players. Ridiculous requests on a weekly basis.
I have been to White Hart Lane recently and quite how you can expect to get 30,000 people to stop calling themselves The Yid Army is beyond me. :cwm23:

Quite right Marco but I don't think they'd go as far as selling Pork Pies & Saveloys at 3 Point Lane
