Offensive chants hit England

Recently the English Premier League re-asserted their efforts to excavate racism from their league. Their efforts are spurred from recent events that have affected players and fans. Whats even worse for the league is that these scandals are not coming from the fans, but they are coming from players and there was even a recent accusation against a referee. The incident that has caused the most publicity world-wide is the incident between Luis Suarez, Liverpool striker, and Patrice Evra Manchester United defender. Suarez was suspended for 8 games and fined 40,000 pounds. These punishments were handed down after a lengthy investigation that included witness testimony and testimony from both players involved in the incident. The involvement of players in the sports most pressing issue, in the worlds most popular league, between two of the worlds biggest teams has brought racism to the forefront with a new fervor that has never been seen. This incident was not between two bench players, it was between two of the top players on the field. It would be the equivalent of Kobe Bryant and Tony Parker exchanging racial slurs to each other, its bad. This incident was followed shortly by a player for Chelsea FC accusing referee Mark Clattenburg of using racially offensive language towards players. John Obi Mikel accuse Clattenburg of calling him a "stupid monkey" in their match against Manchester United just last month. Clattenburg was cleared of all charges but the issue was still in the media for a little over a month and under these circumstances, any press is bad press. All this bad press came to a head this past weekend in the London derby match between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United. Targeting Tottenham's famous Jewish connections, the West Ham United fans made hissing sounds early in the first half, in relation to the concentration camps during the Second World War. Chants of 'Adolf Hitler's coming for you' were also sung. Following the stabbing of a Spurs fan in Rome earlier in the week, the West Ham supporters also chanted 'can we stab you every week?' The issue has hit the main stream now with the world's most popular league suffering from its grasp. The issue has all the publicity it needs now. The question is, what will soccer do about it?
