Good Luck.
Players from England's football leagues have told a group that racism and homophobia are in the game. Over 200 professionals playing in the Premier League, and the three below it, took part in a conducted by the campaigners Kick It Out. The organization said both racism and homophobia were in English football. Over of those who answered the survey said they see racism and homophobia. A quarter said they have had racist or homophobic comments from fans or other players. One in five said they have seen it from their own . Many players said there should be better at football matches.

Kick It Out said things were improving but was too slow. It said many players complained about the progress. Its website said: "During the 2012/13 season, a of players publicly displayed their discontent at what they believed to be a of progress in tackling racism and across the game." Former Premier League player Paul Mortimer said there was racism and homophobia now than there was in the 1980s and 1990s. He said: "If you pick any club in the country, any or any training ground, everything in a club has moved on. But some of the discriminatory used is from a bygone era. This kind of is still in the dark . It has to move on."
