<p>There is no place for racism, sexism, homophobia or any other kind of discrimination
in sport. Tackling discrimination lies at the heart of the cross-government sport
strategy "Sporting Future". We want sport to be at the forefront of equality,
and we work with national governing bodies of sport and organisations such as Kick
It Out and Stonewall to tackle discrimination in local, national and international
sport.</p><p>In relation to football specifically the Government is alive to a rise
in the numbers of reported incidents of discrimination at all levels of the sport.
I will be inviting the FA, English Football League, Premier League, players’ representatives,
and groups such as Stonewall and the Community Security Trust among others, to discuss
what more football can do to stamp out racist, homophobic and anti-semitic abuse.</p><p>
