Most fans in England think racism exists in professional football but just over half think it is a serious problem, a YouGov survey shared with Sky Sports News has revealed. Polling company YouGov conducted a study of 4,500 football fans carried out over several months across nine European countries. Fans in England were asked at the end of March whether they thought racism existed in professional football in the country. Some 54 per cent of fans in England said racism in football is a serious issue, compared to 57 per cent back in March. In the wider sample, more than nine in 10 fans in England, Wales, and Scotland (all 91 per cent) said racism remains a problem in football.
