Rio government names anti-racism law after Vinícius Jr. Diego Souto/Quality Sport Images/Getty Images was targeted by racist abuse during matches last season while playing for Real Madrid. Islamophobic reporting increased by 300% – though on the whole, there was a slight decrease in reports of faith-based discrimination. The reporting period saw a 400% increase in sexist and misogynist reports from 16 to 80, which the organization said was “amplified by a massive spike in online abuse towards female players and supporters.” In the data released on Wednesday, Kick It Out revealed racism accounted for 49.3% of all reports in the period. Kick It Out was originally set up in 1993 as an anti-racism body in the sport, before expanding its remit to include all forms of discrimination in 1997. Meanwhile, discrimination reports in the professional game – including from the Premier League, English Football League, domestic cups, European and international competitions, Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship – rose by 27.4% to 484, the organization added. The 1,007 reports represent a 65.1% increase compared to the previous year and include discriminatory incidents from the professional game, social media and grassroots soccer. Anti-discrimination organization Kick It Out said it received a record number of reports of discriminatory behavior during the 2022/23 soccer season.
