Racism laws in the UK could be tightened.

This comes as a direct result of the abuse England players have endured following their recent defeat at European Championship football this summer, writes NTB.

UK Home Secretary Priti Patel is fed up and wants to crack down on racism in sport.

– This summer we saw a beautiful game influenced by the disgusting racism of internet trolls. Behind the keyboard they insult our footballers. They must be punished. “The amendments to the law that I am now presenting ensure that they are excluded from attending football matches,” said Patel.

He said stadium rejections could last up to ten years.

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all missed penalties at Wembley. After this they all received racist incitement and threats.

In the fall, Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham were also exposed to racism in their World Cup qualifier away to Hungary.

England lost in the EC final against Italy.
