Man Utd launch new campaign in fight against racism and discrimination

Manchester : Manchester United on Friday launched a new campaign, SEE RED, which aims to “confront the scourge of racism and discrimination in the game.” “SEE RED builds on the work by the club under the umbrella of its long-standing All Red All Equal anti-discrimination programme. It features a thought-provoking video which challenges United fans to think – ‘Without diversity, who would we be? What would the club’s history books say?’,” the club said in a statement.
“It highlights Andy Cole’s title-clinching goal versus Tottenham in the Treble season, Jesse Lingard’s Cup-winning screamer in 2016, and Marcus Rashford’s injury-time penalty in the comeback against PSG among great Manchester United moments which could not have happened without diversity and the immeasurable contribution of black and Asian players to the club’s history,” it added.  Manchester United said the campaign also encourages fans to take responsibility for reporting incidents of racism or other hate crimes, to speak out and to stand up for those who may be on the receiving end of discriminatory abuse.
Richard Arnold, Group Managing Director, in a statement, said: “We are proud that players of all ethnicities, religions and nationalities have pulled on the Manchester United jersey over the years. We challenge our fans, and indeed fans of every club, to watch this and think about their own favourite memories, their top teams and their most celebrated players.
How different would those memories be without the diversity of some of the best players in the world who have graced our game and our club?
