Tottenham Hotspur against racism via sms

Tottenham Hotspur has made ​​a step forward to eradicate the racist chanting by their fans. It all started when the party last week faced in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League final to Real Madrid Spurs with some of his more radical followers turned to singing, both in the vicinity of the stadium and within it, a song of distinctly xenophobic towards Adebayor, scorer of his former arch-rivals Arsenal, who that same night they got two goals in the shirt of Madrid. The first reaction of the body was that of London, as they do most clubs, throw balls out.

Therefore has more merit the decision they have taken, because it arises from an exercise of reflection and responsibility that has led them to correct their error, something that is becoming less common in this world sobremediatizado. The initiative is remarkably innovative: the Spurs have a phone number available to any attendee at White Hart Lane stadium to denounce if they hear racist chants. So reads the advertisement on the Spurs website :

It reminds all fans at White Hart Lane will not be tolerated obscene, abusive, homophobic or racist. Security personnel will act against anyone who uses such language. If you hear someone using that language, please report it to the club through a text message to the Control Room at the following number: 07766 553 225

You do not have to worry about rude seeking to ruin your day, so use the messaging system, report these individuals and we'll take care of everything. For our staff is better to monitor the problem at the moment is happening, and we can monitor the area in question with our camera system and deal with everything quickly.

The phrase that stands out in bold strikes me as particularly successful. Is often not the perpetrators of certain heinous acts because when they start looking it is too late. Not to mention, on the other hand there is the suspicion that some clubs are hiding behind such difficulties do not reach the merits. With that explanation expresses the Tottenham makes it clear that they are serious, they will start working from the moment they receive the claim, first checking and then acting accordingly.

Tottenham ensures that the messaging service is completely private and no one else that the club will have access to any information the complainant. So I have nothing but praise for the Spurs plan: taking advantage of new technologies will offer an anonymous service, accessible to all, fast and easy to use, if you get a good reception from the good Lilywhites can be very useful to corral the mindless that you can spare not only football, but the world at large. Since NDF applaud initiatives like this that seek to find new ways to eradicate the worst side of football.
