Millwall manager questions eight-minute stoppage over racist abuse claims
Original: Millwall manager criticises 8-minute game stoppage for alleged racist abuse: 'I don't see the point' https://www.nytimes
Millwall's manager has publicly criticised the eight-minute halt in play during his side's Championship match against Swansea City, which was called after alleged racist abuse was directed from the stands. Speaking afterwards, he said he did not see the point of the stoppage. His remarks have drawn attention amid ongoing debate over how English football authorities should handle racist abuse, and the incident is expected to face scrutiny from the FA and EFL.
Why now: The manager's dismissive comments about a response to alleged racist abuse are controversial and reignite debate on how clubs and leagues tackle racism.
