Former British-Italian champion track and field athlete Fiona May has commended Inter for their work to tackle the issue of discrimination in Italian football but has stressed more needs to be done.
Inter recently launched the Brothers Universally United initiative in wake of being punished with a stadium ban following a portion of the Inter support subjecting Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly to racist chants.
“I am a little tired of hearing that there are problems of racism in Serie A almost every week,” she told news agency ANSA.
“Inter’s campaign is step forward to eliminate racism and what they are doing is fine but you have to do something much more substantial and ensure it is meaningful because it is useless to say the campaign will be carried on but after two or three weeks everything is forgotten.”
She concluded the interview; “I can not say these problems exist only in Italy because it is all over Europe but we must find a way to combat and eliminate this situation that is not good.”
