Tackling Racism And Anti-Semitism In Sport

EDM number 1133 in 2012-13, proposed by Diane Abbott on 01/03/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Racial discrimination, Religious discrimination and Sports.

That this House condemns all forms of racism and anti-Semitism in sport; is disturbed by the recent racial discrimination and abuse highlighted in European football; calls for the adoption of all necessary measures to eliminate racism and anti-Semitism and to promote equal opportunities within sport; believes that more needs to be done to raise the awareness of those in sports and football management to engage black and minority ethnic (BME) communities in the UK at both the professional level and grass roots game to empower BME players, managers, coaches, referees and staff to set the agenda on race and diversity issues and to work collectively with the authorities to do so; and further believes that the landscape within British and European sport, especially football must change to a position of zero tolerance of racism.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
