Rooney: Points must be deducted and fined to combat racial discrimination. Some players were discriminated against and cried in my arms.

August 19: Rooney calls for stricter sanctions on racial discrimination, and recommends that points and education be deducted equally.

Roney believes that only by imposing stricter sanctions on racial discrimination, such as deductions, can such incidents be prevented from happening again. He revealed that a player had been crying in his arms due to racial discrimination. In the newly launched BBC podcast The Rooney Show, the former England national team and Manchester United captain reflected on what measures needed to deal with discrimination.

Two major events occurred last week: Bournemouth player Semenho was racist by a spectator against Liverpool, and Tottenham striker Mattis Terr was attacked for losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup.

Rooney said: "I had this situation when I was at Washington United, one of my players was racist and cried in my arms. I held him and he cried so much. People may not realize that what they said casually, although seemingly irrelevant, actually hurts others. In order for people to see and understand this, more measures must be taken to stop this."

"Society needs strong publicity activities to allow children, parents and grandparents to all Be educated. You have to hit the club because it is the only way to stop this behavior. If there is ignorance, fans will still do it. You have to hit the club by deducting points or fines, otherwise this will continue. Hopefully, those involved can sit down with the right organization and develop some serious measures. "

Meanwhile, FIFA President Infantino said that the two incidents of racial discrimination in the German Cup were "unacceptable" and the German police are currently investigating. Infantino's comment comes a day after Schalke 04 player Christopher Antvi Ajay claimed he suffered racism in his match against Leipzig Locomotive. He has been booed by fans throughout the game. In another incident, a substitute in Kaiserslautern also suffered racism while warming up against RSV Einte, but the coach did not name the player.
