Hupu August 23rd Bournemouth striker Antoine Semeyo calls for tougher punishment for any racial discrimination actors, including imprisonment and lifelong ban.

He was allegedly racist in the opening game of the Premier League, Bournemouth against Liverpool. A week ago, he publicly protested. At that time, Semeyo was allegedly under racist attacks against Liverpool at Anfield Stadium.

According to regulations, the game was temporarily suspended in the first half, and he informed referee Anthony Taylor himself that he had been attacked by racial discrimination. The player is now calling for tougher penalties.

The 25-year-old also revealed that he suffered more racist abuse on social media platforms after the game, further highlighting the seriousness of the racist problem, which remains a major scourge in the football world.

"To be honest, it's really sad to hear this news. In today's era, our players are still suffering from racial discrimination, which is incredible, and we just want to know why this kind of thing continues to happen.

To be honest, it's incredible. When this happens, the punishment is far from enough, so I feel that in view of the current situation, the punishment must be increased.

may be imprisonment, maybe a lifelong ban on watching the game, any punishment is possible, but I feel that other measures must be taken.

In the future, no player who may have experienced similar events will avoid reporting and ensure that the severest punishment is given. This is unacceptable and should not happen in today's era.

"I think I should have done this at that time. I won't hide. The referee must know what happened. If I didn't say anything, the referee would definitely remember it in his heart. ”

Semeyo scored twice for Bournemouth in the second half, including a wonderful single-shot after a 60-yard pass. He said that the incident inspired his performance.

"To be honest, I was very angry when I came on the court during the break and I realized the truth of the matter. I take this matter as motivation and as motivation. It can be said that both goals originated from this.

As a result, I went back to the car, looked through the messages I left to my family and friends, and suddenly saw on Instagram that I was also racist. This happened after the

game, and some people felt it was necessary to do it online. This made me very angry, I thought to myself, why? Why do you do this? ”

A 47-year-old man from Liverpool was arrested on suspicion of racial discrimination and has been conditional bail by Merseyside Police.

These conditions include no access to any formal football matches in the UK and no access to a designated football stadium within a mile.
