Rio Ferdinand: Deduct Their Points!

players October 8th, 2008

Rio Ferdinand has urged FIFA to stop talking and start acting to punish clubs which their fans put racism attack on football players. His idea is to deduct the club’s point. Recent case was Emile Heskey at Croatia when the England team beat them 4-1 and Sol Campbell at White Heart Lane. It was so embarrassing.

“They (FIFA - red) make a lot of comments about what they are going to do but they never back up the words with actions.

“Croatia were fined a few thousand quid. What good is that going to do? That is not going to stop people shouting racist or homophobic abuse.

“If things like this keep happening you have to take points off them.

“Then the punters will realise the team is going to be punished.”

Well said Rio!
