Racism in football is often portrayed to be an unfixable issue as it is a manifestation of societal racism and arguably won’t be fixed until racism in wider society is. In this episode we will uncover not only the covert racism of fans but also the racism within the institution.We’ll be starting with the story of 1) Jack Leslie, the inspiration for this episode and looking at 2) the history of Black men in the sport in England. We’ll then be thinking about 3) the history of Black women in English football and why there are so few? The finally we’ll be having a somewhat intersectional conversation today and looking at 4) what are the barriers to Black girls in football today? 5) And whether or not we can see racism in football changing anytime soon?
