Racism is still a winner on the field of play

Charlton Athletic’s anti-racist community campaign started over five years ago, when the club discovered that only 0.5% of its fans were non-white, although 15% of the local population are from ethnic minority groups.

Only 1% of season ticket-holders are non-white, which I think is unfair. There are no black people on the ruling council of the English FA.
