LONDON (AP) " England soccer leaders were criticized Monday for introducing diversity reforms that campaigners say still fail to ensure minority groups are adequately represented in the decision-making process. Kick It Out, English soccer's anti-discrimination group, said the Football Association's planned overhaul of its board and council appears to be "sham" and "won't satisfy minority groups." The FA Council will add 11 members to ensure it "better reflects the inclusive and diverse nature of English football," the governing body said. But there will not be "proper representation of minority groups" even after the board is redesigned, Kick It Out chairman Herman Ouseley said. I know that all minority groups will feel aggravated at the hands of the football authorities."
