I was particularly disappointed with the suggestion from Michel Platini, the man in charge of Uefa, earlier this week that players would be punished if they walked off the pitch in protest at any racial abuse at the European Championship.
I couldn’t quite believe what I was hearing.
That is wrong, I expected better from him and the organisation he is in charge of. He had a chance to take the lead against racism, to set the tone and to give a clear warning to the people of the host nations. He failed to do that.
