I always find it strange that when it happens in Spain (which it regularly does) they are hit with a pittance of a fine. Deducting points is the only way of combating it in the short term.
No fans in their right minds would even dare to attempt to shout racist abuse if they thought it could have a major impact i.e. relegation/promotion issues. A fine doesn't hurt the fans that have shouted the abuse, a points deduction probably would.
