Sol Campbell: Knock Off Points For Racism

Text

Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell (34) invited heads of the European Football Association to take more drastic steps against racism.

- I think that they are going to have to do more. My situation is a small part. But also, you have the racial abuse in the rest of Europe. My situation is a small part. But also, you have the racial abuse in the rest of Europe. If it's just way over the top and you start taking points...[with] those three points, you can lose the championship or you can be going down. That's the only way you can stop fans' abuse on that type of level – Campbell said, who was often targeted by Tottenham supporters, who never forgave him for transferring to their biggest rival club, Arsenal, in 2001.

However, Tottenham fans claim they are not insulting Campbell on a racial level, but because of his acts and the “hu-hu-hu” chanting which is reminiscent of a monkey`s, is an insult to Campbell as a person who has done the horrible thing to them.
