Racism in football is everywhere in Europe - Olivier Dacourt

Sportsworld

Available for over a year

Former Inter Milan midfielder Olivier Dacourt says there's still severe problems with racism in football across Europe. Inter launched an anti-racism campaign with a video in which former players Luis Figo, Javier Zanetti and Samuel Eto鈥檕 urged fans not to make the so-called 鈥渂uu鈥 noise, widely regarded as a racist insult. The video was released ahead of Inter's second match without spectators at the San Siro after some fans made racial insults and animal noises at Napoli鈥檚 Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly during a Serie A match at San Siro in December. Dacourt has also made a documentary titled 'Je Ne Suis Pas Un Singe', which translates into English as 'I am not a monkey'. He hopes racism can one day be eradicated from the game...
