"Referees in Italy’s top football league give more yellow and red cards to Black and darker-skinned players than to their light-skinned teammates, research shows.
Officials in Serie A awarded an average of 20% more fouls per season against darker-skinned players from 2009 to 2019, with 11% more yellow cards and 16% more red cards.
But during the Covid-19 pandemic, when matches were played in empty stadiums, there was no bias in the way referees treated players. This demonstrates that authorities should prioritise banning fans responsible for racist incidents, the researchers say."
Quite an interesting article showing the effects of Football crowds on the actions of Match day referee's. One of the findings was that black and darker skinned players didn't play as aggressively on the pitch due to the thought that they were more likely to be booked by the ref. Tougher action against racist chants and fans was argued for in order to reduce this effect and that Referee's also should be monitored for their responses to the crowd that included racist chanting. This was primarily research conducted in Italy but interesting findings nonetheless.
An interesting read.
