Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun, has said that tacklingracism is a collective responsibility and that more ‘extreme punishments’ areneeded.
The 31-year-old Brighton defender also supports playerswalking off the pitch, but admitted it is only part of what needs to be done.
Balogun wants those not being targeted on the pitch to fullysupport their team-mates who feel that leaving the pitch is their only option,so that not too much pressure is put on the individuals.
Balogun says in order to get the message across, fans who donot take part in the abuse must also get involved in the battle against racism.
A recent rise in incidents of racism across Europe has beenmet with financial penalties and partial stadium closures.
He is also adamant that the kind of sanctions being handeddown is simply not having the necessary affect.
