A Thing of the Past?



My topical poem today is about the declaration by FIFA that their Racism in Football Taskforce has been disbanded because its mission has been completely fulfilled.

A Thing of the Past?
Racism in football has been solved,
and that’s great relief a,
you may be quite surprised by this,
but it’s the official view of FIFA.
no more monkey noises
or bananas thrown from stands,
no discrimination against black managers,
or racist chants by fans.
the task force has fulfilled its mission,
so if you hear racism in the stands,
there’s no point in telling FIFA,
they’ve buried their heads  in the sand.
