Journalists have been calling out racism for years, you just haven't noticed

I’M NOT here to discuss Raheem Sterling being racially abused. We saw it happen, there is no alleging, it happened.

 

What I want to discuss is what the media and players can do over the next few weeks, months and years to try to eradicate racism from football, mention the journalists who are raising awareness of sexism and racism in the media and how the industry can have better representation in terms of women and ethnic minorities.
