“There are no visible projects, no modern follower leaders, along with passiveness and bias among the media.
“No-one is taking the concern seriously – no-one aside from the players, the targets themselves, as well as a couple of allies who have actually been brave enough to stand up.”
Serie An urged it was “seriously as well as regularly involved in activities versus racism”.
It added: “I can confirm our maximum initiative to battle racism. We did a whole lot in the past and we’ll do [a lot] in the future as we introduced some days ago a project regarding this that we will certainly develop in the next month.”
