Society could learn a valuable lesson from soccer in the ongoing struggle against racial discrimination, according to former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
The killing of unarmed black man George Floyd by a white policeman in Minneapolis last month has prompted a wave of protests across the world and focussed attention on the Black Lives Matter movement.
Football players have shown their support for the movement and Wenger believes the fact that so many black players have made the grade shows the sport does not suffer from racism.
'I would say football is by essence anti-racist,' Frenchman Wenger said in an interview with BeIN Sports on Friday.
