Premier League clubs VOTE for new type of BAN for racist fans

Premier League clubs have voted on introducing league-wide ban for racist fans.  Official statement says: “At today’s Shareholders’ Meeting, Premier League clubs united against all forms of violent, threatening and abusive behaviour.” “Following recent events, the 20 clubs committed to introducing a League-wide ban for anyone banned by their club for discriminatory, abusive or violent acts. “Unacceptable conduct towards players, fans, club employees or referees will not be tolerated by the Premier League or its clubs.” Earlier, The Professional Football Association (PFA) will demand jail sentences as the main form of punishment for the fans that racially abuse players from the stands.  Manchester United’s Fred, Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger and Tottenham’s Son Heung-Min are among the players that have reportedly been racially abused during the matches. However, police were not able to find those fans in some cases.
