“The report admitted that chants, shouts and whistles were directed at Lukaku by Cagliari fans, but they were not enough in "size and perception" to bring about any form of punishment against the club and its supporters.”
All "non-white players" ( forgive me for using this phrase ) should leave ALL the Italian leagues & play in a League where their talent would be appreciated ( irrespective of their colour, religion etc).
I had the same idea when the news first broke, but while I certainly wouldn't blame individual black players for deciding they wanted nothing to do with Italy (or Russia, Serbia, Croatia, etc), I can't help but feel that an organised collective boycott would be giving the racists exactly what they want, to the detriment of both football and society. I think it would have to be accompanied by a fans' boycott in solidarity; or, at the very least, fans travelling to these countries for internationals or Euro games making banners in the nature of our Odemwingie banner in 2010 to show their contempt.
