Anti-racism taskforce must tackle 'nastiness' - Lord Ouseley
Kick It Out chairman Lord Ouseley hopes Fifa's anti-racism and discrimination taskforce can eradicate a "nastiness" unique to football.
The taskforce, formed to help combat discrimination in the sport, has its first meeting on Monday.
"We don't see that sort of nastiness in other sports," said Lord Ouseley, chairman of the anti-racism campaign.
"The tribalism and the way people seek to express their frustrations in football is quite unique."
Lord Ouseley urged the taskforce to introduce harsher penalties for clubs whose fans were guilty of racist abuse.
