"Mr President, Italian colleagues will know that, a few days, ago, the international football player Marc Zoro had to leave the football pitch because of persistent racist abuse. This is something within the beautiful game, the European game, which is making the game ugly. Every day we see incidents across all our Member States of racist abuse: some of it organised, some of it isolated. There is no country in the European Union which is exempt from this phenomenon. UEFA and MEPs are determined to stamp it out. We have practical measures, working with the media, to stamp out this cancer from the game. Recently, Italian television played some of its matches in black and white rather than in colour to make the point to Italian society and to all of European society that we must not tolerate racism in football. We have the World Cup next year: let us send a unified message from this House that we will not tolerate the beautiful game becoming ugly."@en1
