Rise in reports of discrimination in UK

London - Reports of discrimination in English professional and amateur football have increased, anti-discrimination group Kick It Out revealed on Tuesday.

The organisation said it received 184 reports of discrimination between August and December 28 last year, compared to 136 for the same period during the 2013-14 season.

Racism (117) and anti-Semitic (32) abuse were the most common forms of discrimination reported, but the group said the latest figures could represent only the tip of the iceberg.
