Racism in soccer rears its ugly head once again.

Rose and England teammate Callum Hudson-Odoi, who are black, said Montenegro fans directed monkey chants at them during a Euro 2020 qualifier two weeks ago. Rose spoke out this past week. He did not comment immediately after the match because, he said, he did not want to distract from the 5-1 victory. He also said a “very small minority of the fans” were involved.“We can only bring awareness and light to the situation,” he said. It’s now time for the people in charge to put a real stamp on it. You’ve got to punish people a bit harder. You’ve got to do something that makes them think twice.
Brentford reacted swiftly, saying, “The most severe sanctions will be imposed on any individual convicted of discrimination, and we will await the result of the police investigation before commenting further." A midweek match in Italy received the most attention, in large part because the abused player’s teammate worsened matters.
Bonucci later apologized, saying: “My words have been clearly misunderstood, probably because I was too hasty in the way I expressed my thoughts. Hours and years wouldn’t be enough to talk about this topic. I firmly condemn all forms of racism and discrimination.”
