Former Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has accused UEFA and FIFA of being more concerned with finances than tackling racism after two Premier League footballers spoke out against online abuse.
The 51-year-old believes the anti-racism messages from the top of football are not strong enough.
Hislop, honorary president of Show Racism the Red Card, was speaking after Wilfried Zaha and David McGoldrick were victims of online racist abuse over the weekend.
Crystal Palace's Zaha and Sheffield United's McGoldrick shared the sickening messages they received and Hislop feels UEFA and FIFA need to set a better example.
"People need to understand that whatever your age, that your behaviour and your words come with consequences and you cannot hide behind social media," Zaha wrote.
"It is important social media platforms do as they did yesterday and seek out those individuals and remove them.
"This is not the first time I have received messages like this, nor am I the only player to receive messages like this – it happens every day. I want to thank everyone for the love and support but enough is enough!
"It is not enough to be disgusted by these messages and move on. It is enough to just say #notoracism. We need action, we need education, we need to change."
