Normal is Moise Kean playing for Juventus against Cagliari last year, suffering racist abuse and being blamed by team-mate Leonardo Bonucci for aggravating his tormentors. Normal is BBC viewers consistently voting Raheem Sterling the worst England player on the team's run to the semi-finals at the 2018 World Cup even though he was one of our best performers.

And you fix it with education. Hashtags and photo opportunities are fine but the heroes I look to in this fight are people like Kick it Out's Troy Townsend, the journalists Darren Lewis and Leon Mann, the campaigners Heather Rabbatts and Paul Elliott.

You fix it by promoting more black executives to our football boardrooms. You fix it by tackling that suppurating sore of the chronic under-representation of black managers in the English game. You fix it by empowering black players to walk off the pitch when they are racially abused, without fear of sanction. You fix it with swingeing penalties for clubs whose fans are found guilty of racism, not slaps on the wrist.

Normal is UEFA fining Manchester City more for being a minute late for the second half in a tie against Sporting Lisbon than they fined Porto for racially abusing City players in another game.

English football talks a good game about wanting to tackle racial abuse but the Premier League are only contributing £300,000 this year to Kick It Out, the sport's leading anti-racism campaign.

It is not an inconsiderable sum and the organisation is grateful but, set against the billions made by the league, it is a sign of where fighting racism is in their priorities.

They are not about gestures. They work and they work and they work to try to make things better. They work to create more opportunities for black people in sport and to make the environment better.



You don't fix that with a hashtag or a black square on Instagram even if it does buy you time for a little while. You don't fix it with words or with gestures. You fix it with actions and commitment.

You fix it by consigning to a shameful past moments like the time former UEFA president Michel Platini said, before Euro 2012, that anyone walking off the pitch to protest against racist abuse would be shown a yellow card.

Normal is Troy Deeney and Danny Rose being singled out for abuse last month because they said they were worried about going back to training even when figures show that men from a BAME background are more at risk from Covid-19.
