Rahim Sterling was racially abused by two Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge, after the Blues ended the unbeaten run of Manchester City last week Sunday.
That incident and Sterling's mature response on social media, has created debate about how best the sport can tackle the issue of racism.

"I think everyone has seen it and obviously it is such an important thing, not just for football, but generally in the world," Schlupp told Sky Sports.
"You can ban these people from a stadium, but I feel like more needs to be done."
"Whether it is more people getting educated on the matter or something else, it seems to still be around, which is obviously not good."
"I feel people need to actually be educated on racism and what it actually means, and what it does to people."
"No one should have to go through that, not just athletes."

"Unfortunately, it is still around and something serious needs to be done."
Asked if he had been a victim himself, Schlupp said: "I have never been racially abused.
"But I take it personally when someone else is - it is the same thing to me. It is horrible to see and horrible to hear.
"Something needs to be done."
