Watch the following video with Patrick Kluivert regarding racism. Kluivert: I suffered racial abuse in England

At the EPL match in Manchester today racist chanting was heard that lead to an arrest.

Recently, Patrick Viera stated “If you really want to fight racism, if you really want to show to the world that football wants to fight against it, you will have to use a deduction of points against clubs or kick them out of European competition,”

Will punishing the clubs for not controlling the fans as Viera suggests in the following statement really make a difference?

“That will stop it, of course. If you kick a club out of Europe because they couldn’t control their fans, it will happen once and I can guarantee it’s not going to happen twice.”

Is it time for a new approach? Would engaging the fans in an authentic conversation have a different effect? Would education of the fanbase change attitudes regarding racism?

Recently at a Tottenham match anti-Semitic chants were heard. Hissing sounds reminiscent of gas chambers were heard. As abhorrent as this is how does punishing the club for not controlling the fans solve the issue?
