(Reuters) - Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford said he is amazed by the outrage sparked by the proposed breakaway Super League but rued the fact there was not similar energy direction into the fight against racism in football.

Some of Europe's major clubs from England, Spain and Italy are proposing to form their own elite Super League, with the move triggering widespread criticism across the sport and society.

"From what I've seen on Twitter, I haven't seen one football fan who's happy about it," Bamford told Sky Sports when asked about the breakaway league."Football is for the fans. Without fans, clubs would be nothing. It's important we stand our ground. Bamford said that while the Super League plans were a major talking point off the pitch, the players did not give it much thought during games.
