Its just a dumb publicity stunt, that wont achieve anything, but may bite them in the future.

I 100% agree it’s a publicity stunt - cheap, easy PR and being seen to do the right thing. That’s an easy win for them - much easier than actually resolving racism in the game or society.
With so much money in football, mostly from TV companies half of which comes from overseas, a further high percentage from matchday hospitality at the top. I just don’t see where the ‘bite’ comes from in future. It’d need people to feel so strongly against the stunt that it hits them in the pocket.
