Bournemouth's Semenyo Urges Stricter Penalties for Racial Abuse

Antoine Semenyo, a soccer player, wants stronger punishments for people who are racially abusive.

During a recent game, a man in the crowd said mean things to him because of his race.

The game stopped, and the man was arrested but later released on bail and banned from attending matches.

Semenyo also received racist messages on social media.

He believes the current punishments are not enough and suggests that jail time or lifetime bans could be more effective.
