English Football: Minority Groups and Fa

english football: The FA has been threatened with the loss of public funding unless more women and ethnic minorities are brought into the decision-making process, according to Brandon Sun. The House of Commons has already declared it has no confidence in the FA over its failure to reflect modern society in England. Kick It Out, English soccer's anti-discrimination group, said the Football Association's planned overhaul of its board and council appears to be sham and won't satisfy minority groups. The FA Council will add 11 members to ensure it better reflects the inclusive and diverse nature of English football, the governing body said. But there will not be proper representation of minority groups even after the board is redesigned, Kick It Out chairman Herman Ouseley said. The FA also plans to guarantee three places for women on its board and restrict members to three terms of three years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
