Swansea City’s Andre Ayew recounts ordeal with racism

The Ghanaian forward has given an account of how he was subject to racist abuse during games

Swansea City forward Andre Ayew has narrated how he faced racist gestures during his time at Olympique Marseille.

The subject has become rife in 2020 following the death of George Floyd back in May in the United States. It led to greater calls for an end to racial inequality and injustice as well as police brutality towards black people.

The Black Live Matter Movement has been the largest voice in this drive and the football world, particularly the Premier League and English Football League, have stood in solidarity by taking a knee before kick-off of games.
