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.
In addition, the society has also warned the Football Association and Tottenham Hotspur that it will make a complaint to police unless action is taken against what it says is anti-Semitic abuse taking place at White Hart Lane.
The document was published ahead of a meeting between the FA, Professional Footballers' Association, Premier League and trustees of anti-racism body Kick It Out on Wednesday.
The society is involved in talks to create a Black Players' Association with some professionals, claiming the football authorities are not doing enough to represent them or to tackle racism in the sport.
The PFA recently introduced its own six-point action plan but the society says this will prove "ineffective".
The legal group says more needs to be done to engage with black players and adds that recent punishments for racist abuse given to Chelsea captain John Terry and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez have left some black footballers disillusioned.
Terry was banned for four matches and fined £220,000 by the FA for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, while Suarez received an eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra.
The society described those sanctions as "a slap on the wrist", adding: "The FA itself must set a clear set of sanctions against racist abuse on the field that reflects the seriousness of the offence."
It also says it will report any anti-Semitic chants at Tottenham games to the Metropolitan Police unless the club and FA show they are acting.
Peter Herbert, who chairs the group, said: "In discussions with members of the Jewish community, we were made aware that this practice is still continuing and it has to come to an end.
"If neither Tottenham FC nor the FA are willing to take a stand then SBL will report the matter to the Metropolitan Police Service for investigation and, if necessary, prosecution. The report will be made if this behaviour does not cease by 20 November. We will have monitors in attendance to observe what occurs."
In its 10-point plan it also calls for:
  • a minimum six to nine-month ban for racial abuse, rising to a five-year ban for a third offence
  • any fines going directly to Kick It Out to fund grassroots anti-racism initiatives
  • the creation of representative associations for black players, managers and coaches
  • guidance for referees to send off players using racist abuse and the power to call off games where the crowd is using such abuse
  • a 20% quota at all levels of the FA, PFA, clubs as well as football agents and referees
  • racial abuse to be a matter of gross misconduct incorporated into players' contracts
  • clubs to invest in the personal education of all players, including university or college education
  • recording referees and assistants during matches to pick up any possible abuse by players.
  • a system for reporting racial incidents to be set up with details of such incidents, both on and off the pitch, published each year
Wednesday's meeting between Kick It Out and a selection of football's leading authorities is a scheduled get-together of the anti-racism charity's trustees.

My first questions has to be , just who the fuck are "The Society of Black Lawyers" and what have they got to do with Football ? Did i miss something , do they work with the FA or ?

I read the other day that they made the police complaint in regards to Clattenburg but acknowledged that they had no info apart from what has been reported in the media ! . Are you even allowed to make complaints like that ?. I guess so .

I guess some of the points are decent but what does the 20 % quota mean ? That 20% of people hired in those positions have to be black ? what about other races and do you count as part of that quota if you're mixed race ? .
It's obviously a disgrace if someone is the best for the job and doesn't get it because of race but do we really need these quota systems ? Surely the aim is that everyone is exactly the same and will get the job if they are the best and deserve it .
 
Do the society of Black Lawyers have any white people representing them? Thought not, the racist cunts!
 
Asians are getting a bit of a bum deal in all of this, aren't they?

We have a lot of them in the country and very few footballers.
 
I'm sorry, but they're crackers. I'm all for stamping out racism, but it really is flavour of the week at the moment. What are we going to do about any other sort of verbal abuse? Sweep that under the carpet? So if a footballer says 'you black <insert swearword here>' then he gets the sack and a 9month ban. But if anyone calls someone a 'fucking child molesting ginger fat cunt' then that would be ok and should not have any punishment? What a load of balls.

I remember the days when beckham would have thousands of people people chanting that his kids were not his own, that his missus was a slag etc and nothing was done and even deemed amusing, but when you get one idiot in the crowd making monkey noises at a black player*, it makes backpage news and is the end of the world.

It's just mental.

* - I wont mention that it seems ok to make monkey chants at gareth bale though, and that's allowed and ok it seems.
 
This group may mean well but some of these ideas are crackers.

What club would get rid of £30 million asset so he can sign for a rival for free.

This is what happens when none football people get involved in football.
 
unfortunately like a lot of oppression historically it then reverses too much the other way.

I am getting fed up with hearing about black, gay and women rights non stop in the media

Yes we are all equal, most of us agree that and discrimination is wrong but please stop accusing everyone of being sexist, racist and looking for arguments.

I hear about not enough women heading top companies so they are going to force them to hire them through legislation, then its legislation to force footy clubs to hire black managers.

Now all these black rights groups like this group mentioned here want to start up

We are a great country where equality is better than most places but if you listened to our press you would not think so

Just to be a wee bit picky, how can you get the sack AND a 9 month ban? 😉

9 month ban from footy, you get the sack from your club.
So basically clubs will anonymously (or through a third party) put in complaints towards the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Zlatan, Cavani, etc, they'd get banned from football for a season, weaken their clubs by being sacked, then other clubs benefit from having world class players in the free transfer market.
Lawyers are genius's.
 
This kind of garbage will do far more to set back the cause of good race relations than anything they're trying to protest against.

They sound like a group that sits around in pointy black hats and long flowing black robes, only with an education.

Opportunist Sensationalists would be another descriptor.

They make me want to apply to join then take them to court for racism if they say no because I'm white.

Maybe we could start an Internet membership drive for them... You know get SoS involved. Fight the good fight.
 
It sounds like some advert you get on the crap channels: a black bloke is walking through a lobby, steps on a wet spot left by an incontinent white person and flies arse over tit; another black bloke is half way up a ladder when some white bloke opens a door and knocks him hurtling to the ground; yet another black bloke is pinned to the wall whilst trying to issue a parking ticket to a white drunken motorist. Cut to a flash part of London, and five pinstriped black blokes appear, push some weak-looking white men into the road and then stride towards the camera, looking angry and determined: "We're the Society of Black Lawyers, and if you're black and need the law, we WILL deliver!" Piara Power would find it potent porn.
 
The way I'd stop racism is to talk about it in public and relentlessly humiliate the racist to the verge of suicide. The way to cover up your own dispicable and xenophobic racism is to demand a handshake, move on, and then criticise the supposed racist whenever he tries to speak about it again.

The black lawyer society can either say something meaningful to Suarez or Terry. Or else they can kindly shut the fuck up, bend over, and take the racial abuse they have brought upon themselves exaxtly in the place they deserve it. And if they're lucky, John Terry won't have their wives bent over in the meantime. Kick that out you galactically stupid bunch of cunts.
 
Apart from two men, every other black player in the league stuck the knife into our best player, rejoiced in his punishment, ruined our season, and got our greatest ever player fired. I would struggle to give a single fuck about any percieved injustice by these cunts.
 
Into the vacuum left by the idiotic FA step all and sundry to tell us how we are such bad people and how we ought to behave and do things.

It was inevitable fringe groups would involve themselves and racism in football now has a life of it's own, expect many allegations and the consequent tortured reliance on 'probability' ruling.

The law of the land should be left to deal with this, where an allegation has to be reported to the Police and backed up with evidence. Racism is far too serious a charge to be left to FA committees.
 
These guys are now threatining spurs with a complaint to the police if they dont stop there own fans chanting yid army. A chant they have used for years. LTW im now aware of the of the insult towards jews using the term yid. Where does it originate and is it very offensive to jewish people?
 
I don't think words in themselves are offensive. It's the intent behind it and the context in which it's said.

The word 'yid' doesn't offend me... but if someone called me a "fucking yid" in a nasty way then I probably would be offended. But then you could probably substitute the word "yid" for something else and it'd still be offensive because of the tone.

Asking Spurs to change their chant is a bit silly.

I hope they go through with their complaint, so that either the police can tell them to bugger off and grow up or it can be laughed out of court.

You should really stay out of these discussions Fox.
 
Yes, Mo, they are. This whole thing is ridiculous. For one thing "yid" is actually Yiddish for "Jew". For another, the Tottenham fans are making a positive out of it with this chant of theirs, a kind of "Jewish and proud of it" thing. Nobody seems too bothered about black folks using "nigger" among themselves in the same way. How is this different?
