'Fans shout at you like a monkey than ask for a photo' - Eto'o begging for racism to be eradicated from football

The former forward, wearied by racist incidents in football, wants to see change as he sets his aim for management

Samuel Eto'o is begging for racism to be removed from football as the former striker says that he is tired of seeing the game's worst moments continue to repeat themselves.

Eto'o was speaking in the wake of the alleged racist abuse of Inter striker Romelu Lukaku by Cagliari fans during a Serie A match in Sardinia. Cagliari avoided punishment from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).

On Monday, television pundit Luciano Passirani was sacked for making a comment about Lukaku that, although apparently meant as a compliment , was considered by many observers to be racist.
