He added: It was shocking. I didnt let on, it wasnt me being stubborn, it was me trying to ignore but it was difficult.I didnt tell my mum, she only realised when watching the programme Out Of Their Skin with Ian Wright.Thats the only time she knew what I was receiving at football. She sent me a text apologising for not knowing. Chelsea have dominated headlines recently after the alleged racial abuse of Raheem Sterling at Stamford Bridge and anti-Semiticchanting during a Europa League match in Hungary.And while the club have promised the strongest possible action against any discriminatory behaviour during the Spurs clash, Canoville believes that clubs and fans must do more to ensure the total eradication of racism in the game.I think its double standards, the former winger said. Im hearing that if Chelsea use the Y-word, theyll be arrested. But if Tottenham use the Y-word, its okay.Thats not right. It shouldnt be used, totally. This has been going on for far too long.Its been continuous and continuous until now I cant take it anymore.Chelsea are bringing extra stewards, were taking it seriously. But for the fans themselves, come on man! You love this game just like I love this game, lets not bring it down to this extent. Lets enjoy football.“Whats so difficult about enjoying football? Lets give them the proper support.
