English Premier League soccer set a shameful record on Sunday: An announcer had to warn fans three times to stop showering a black player with racist abuse. Chelsea defender Antonio Rüdiger later took to Twitter to condemn the monkey noises aimed at him after Tottenham’s Son Heung-min was sent off following a clash with him. “It’s just such a shame that racism still exists in 2019,” Rüdiger wrote. “When will this nonsense stop?” The Professional Footballers’ Association called for a government investigation into racism in the sport.
