Is it time for harsher punishments for teams whose fans racially abuse football players? Over the weekend, AC Milan’s keeper Mike Maignan was racially abused by a group of Udinese fans behind his goal. Maignan walked off the pitch with the support of his teammates before returning. Also on Saturday, Kasey Palmer, the Jamaican international who plays for Coventry City, was allegedly subjected to a racial gesture while playing against Sheffield Wednesday. These ugly scenes have led to renewed calls for harsher sanctions in response to racist abuse. One measure under consideration is point deductions for teams whose fans racially abuse players.
