Brighton & Hove Albion encourages it's young players to 'help fight racism'

The #Brighton & #Hove Albion have encouraged it's younger players to 'help fight racism or discrimination'.

The Albion has asked that it's youth players 'defend their friends who may be experiencing either racism or discrimination'.

Some students, attending nearby schools, were offered the opportunity to ask players from the Albion's 'Under 23's Squad' about how racism affects them and how it can be 'stamped out', according to the Albion.

Albion Football Player, Williams, informed the students that "she had to transfer schools at seven years of age because she was the only dark-coloured student at her school in #Yorkshire and diversity didn't really exist there".

Albion Football Player, Antef Tsoungui, urged the elementary school students "to tell their teachers if someone is being bullied, racially attacked, or discriminated against so that something could be done about the issue".

The Albion has joined forces with 'Show Racism The Red Card' and other local schools according to the #football team.
