English Football Coach Given 3-Year Ban For Racist Comments Toward Players

John Yems, former manager of Crawley Town, admitted to making racist comments toward his players between 2019 and 2022.
Yems was initially given a 17-month ban which the Football Association successfully appealed to extend to 3 years.
The ban is the longest ever issued in English football for discrimination.
Yems was found guilty of 11 charges related to racist language referencing ethnic origin, color, race, nationality, religion, belief and gender.
Anti-discrimination groups applauded the decision to extend the ban, calling it a "landmark moment."
