There’s so many politics and whatever in football and I just can’t wait to see the back of it, to be honest’ Danny Rose says he “just can’t wait to see the back of football” because of how the authorities deal with racism.
The 28-year-old – who discussed the issue for the first time after his side Tottenham’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night – described the current punishments as “a farce” and admitted: “I have had enough.”
He said he even expected to be racially abused when playing for England in Montenegro last month, but did not want to speak out after the game and take the gloss off his team’s 5-1 victory.
Rose, who along with Callum Hudson-Odoi were targeted during the Euro 2020 qualifier, believes nothing will be done to combat the problem while offending countries are fined the amount “I probably spend on a night out in London”.
“I have had enough,” he said. “At the minute, how I’ve programmed myself now, I just think that I’ve got five or six more years left in football and I just can’t wait to see the back of it, seeing how things are done in the game at the minute.
