George Weah: Racism is a disease, we must not tolerate it. George Weah spoke out about the need to combat racism in football. The ex-forward of Monaco, PSG, Milan, Chelsea and other clubs headed a commission of 16 leaders from men`s and women`s football created to eradicate racism.
As a former soccer player and former President of the Republic of Liberia, I have a voice because I played soccer and experienced racism as a player. That`s why I felt like one of those players who could say no to racism.
I think the main thing is to forget the insults, accept others with open arms and make friends - that`s what peace is all about. War is not good, racism is a disease. We can no longer tolerate racism in public spaces, especially on the pitch where everyone should work together, have fun together and enjoy all the good things football has to offer.
So many people come from all over the world to see a group of people bring to life the essence of football: it`s peace, it`s love, it`s fun, I`ve experienced it myself. We are committed to eradicating racism from this sport. This is harmful to the sport. We are making every effort to ensure that this phenomenon is combated by all, " said Weah.
