Ed’s Note [Phil]: Thank you for contacting us.
It’s a real shame that some fans continue to engage in discriminatory behaviour in the face of an ongoing effort to eradicate racism from our game, and the atmosphere at home games this season has often been marred by instances of abuse.
Sunderland has always prided itself on being a club with the right values and a tolerant and welcoming ethos, and I agree that all fans need to continue to call out inappropriate behaviour wherever they see it. The club’s reputation depends on it.
