Premier League and Football League players will receive guidance from the Professional Footballers' Association about tackling racist language.
.
The PFA sessions will focus on what is deemed banter or acceptable jibes towards opponents and what is not.
.
Managers of all 92 clubs have been contacted by the PFA asking them to make sure the players attend. PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor said: "We need to avoid any embarrassment again after recent cases."
.
Racism is still a "significant problem" in football During the last two seasons Chelsea defender John Terry and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez have both received bans for racial abuse.
.
New FA sanctions carry a minimum five-match ban for a first offence of racist or homophobic abuse.
.
In the sessions, players will be given scenarios where abuse occurs - either from fans or from other players - and guided as to their correct response.
.
They will also be asked to judge what they regard as dressing-room banter and told whether their views are appropriate.
.
As well as racist and homophobic language, players will also be warned not to use discriminatory terms referring to religion or disability.
.
Players will also be warned that new contracts will carry clauses making abuse a gross misconduct offence that could lead to immediate dismissal by a club.
.
The letter from the PFA to the managers states: "We are looking to arrange this session in the near future and would appreciate you ensuring players attend as a matter of priority."
Racism Guidance is something that is very important in times like this so I support it big time. Racism must stop in football!
