Just Please Be Cool, Guys

Soccer matches can get pretty heated. This is a normal thing! But the racism is a little much. There’s been such a problem with abusive, racist behavior at major soccer games that the Premier League is spearheading a ‘No Room for Racism’ campaign. EA and FIFA 20 are also getting on board, introducing #NoRoomForRacism player kits to the game.

This move comes after a heated match between England and Bulgaria. The abusive behavior on the Bulgarian side of things was so nasty that officials considered abandoning the match. Hand gestures, jeers, the whole nine yards. Two Bulgarian officials resigned in the aftermath.
