Sarsfields keen to see red for racism

Sarsfields GFC in Wexford have written to the GAA asking that Central Council brings forward an emergency motion which would make on-field racism a red-card offence.

Sarsfields star Lee Chin, a Wexford hurler and footballer, has been subjected to racism in the past, and there is a concerted effort to deal with the issue.

Last week, the club’s motion on racism for the GAA’s annual Congress was ruled out of order as it was deemed to be dealing with a playing rule, and these can only be amended in years divisible by five.
