answer text <p>The FA have been recording cases of antidiscrimination centrally since the start of the 2013/14 season, cases having previously been recorded by County FAs. The 2013/14 season showed 587 antidiscrimination cases in total of which 8% were in respect of sexual orientation.</p><p> </p><p>DCMS and The FA take matters of discrimination very seriously: any form of racism, anti-Semitism or homophobia is completely unacceptable. Following the 2012 Downing Street summit on racism in football, The FA are now delivering against a whole sport Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Plan called “Football’s for Everyone” to build equality and inclusion in football. I welcome this commitment, and specific initiatives, such as “Football vs Homophobia”. The FA Inclusion Advisory Board reports quarterly to DCMS on progress.</p><p> </p> more like this
