KL: This is exactly why I wrote regarding resisting evils linked on the post. As a game becomes bigger, the evils of society become bigger problems to tacke. Sport has to be strong and tacke issues which have no place - like racism. You rightly ask if we can eliminate it. We cannot as racism is so deep rooted in the society. But at least we can make an attempt to decrease it as much as possible in the sporting arenas of the world. As you said, the mass needs to be educated, there has to be more awareness created.

Will it be that easy to eliminate? After all, spectators bring money and sponsorship to the game. Australia could throw out some of the spectators during the recent matches because they were only few in number. What would happen if almost the whole crowd turns like that (like the way English football fans turn out when they go on supporting their team on the continent)?
