enforce lifetime bans for racist behaviour from fans during football matches
have stricter rules on discrimination and racist behaviour from fans during football matches and have more severe bans on spectators and also club sanctions for any inappropriate behaviour during a football match
i don’t believe that the football association are strict enough when punishing those who do not act correctly during a game, and therefore propose harsher bans to ensure racism and racist behaviour is permanently removed from the game
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about banning people from football matches for behaviour that does not meet the criminal threshold, are a matter for the Football Association and the relevant club, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling for racist behaviour at a football match to be made a specific criminal offence, with the sanction being a banning order.
