Race isn't a black and white issue in grassroots football
Evening Standard
Sepp Blatter has probably never seen a match in the Essex Senior League, but if he did it might give him some insight into racism in football.
The match between London APSA and Bowers & Pitsea, just up the road from Upton Park, starts off well.
The match programme has a full-page advertisement: "Let's kick racism out of football." And the two teams appear to be doing just that. London APSA, largely Asian, have a white goalkeeper. The visiting team from Basildon have several black players, and the referee is black.
