5 ways how FIFA should actually tackle racism in football

#3 Hold the respective club / national FA responsible

Heftier fines need to be handed out to the clubs and FAs

Other than player related incidents, England and Premier League have been largely successful at keeping spectator racism at bay. "I have never heard anything like that in England because I think they don't tolerate it," said Muntari, talking of his time in the Premier League. "England is the example for the world. If a country doesn't tolerate it then it means you get rid of it."

To tackle racism at grassroots level, every club and national FA needs to be held accountable for incidents in their respective stadiums. Handing them hefty fines for such incidents will, in turn, provide an incentive for them to trickle down the punishment even more severely to the actual offenders involved.
