There is "evident bias" in some football commentary relating
to the skin tone of players, according to a new study.
In 80 televised games analysed across four European leagues,
including the Premier League, players with a lighter skin tone
were praised more often for their intelligence and work ethic.
Meanwhile, those with darker skin tones were "significantly"
more likely to be "reduced to their physical characteristics or
athletic ability", such as their pace and power.
The research, conducted by Danish firm RunRepeat in
association with the Professional Footballers' Association
(PFA), concluded that the findings showed "bias from
commentators".
"The continuous praise for players with lighter skin tone for
their skill level, leadership and cognitive abilities combined
with the continuous criticism for players with darker skin tone
is likely to influence the perception of the soccer watching
public," said the researchers.
PFA equalities executive Jason Lee told BBC Sport: "It was
always important to collate information rather than just
speaking about the fact we believe there is unconscious bias
within sport, and across society really.
"If you're describing two types of players, one is white and one
is black, and they are both doing exactly the same thing and
yet for the black player you are picking up on the negative
side of it and for the white player it's the positive side, what I
mean by that is a black player will be perceived as having
pace and power and aggression, and a white player will have
ingenuity and creativity and determination, different traits,
when it could be the reverse."
This research comes amid pressure for the football industry to
take clear steps to improving equality of opportunity and
eliminating racial bias.
Lee added: "I think it's damaging in the long term because
when players leave their playing career and they go into
coaching or managing, or want to be seen in a more positive
light, people will have already built up this perception because
for 10 or 20 years all you've heard of is that person is quick,
powerful and aggressive, and you've not heard they are
actually intellectual, articulate and [have] a quite different set
of skills."

Derby County: "[Widsom] sustained injuries which
resulted in him being admitted to hospital, where he is
in a stable condition."
Derby County defender Andre Wisdom is in hospital after he
was stabbed in Liverpool at the weekend.
Derby have confirmed he "sustained injuries which resulted
in him being admitted to hospital, where he is in a stable
condition."
Wisdom was at his home in Merseyside on Saturday night,
following Derby's 2-1 win against Reading, when a relative
called him.
He drove to the Toxteth/Wavertree area of Liverpool later that
night to pick the relative up, and as he got out of his car, he
was attacked in the street by a man with a knife, who
stabbed him more than once, and then robbed him.
He was taken to hospital, where he is still receiving
treatment.
Merseyside police are investigating the attack.
Wisdom is expected to be released from hospital before the
weekend, but he will certainly miss Wednesday's clash with
promotion rivals Preston, and is also likely to be out for the
weekend derby with rivals Nottingham Forest, who are also
chasing promotion.
