Gab Marcotti recommends closed-door games to punish fans following the racist chants directed at Romelu Lukaku during Inter's win over Cagliari.
ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti gives reasons why Inter Milan have yet to condemn their own ultras' statement of support of Cagliari's racist chants towards Romelu Lukaku.
Italian side Cagliari have avoided punishment from Serie A after supporters aimed racist abuse at Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku.
The monkey chants were audible on a video from the stands that was shared on social media. The abuse came after Lukaku scored a penalty.

But Serie A's disciplinary body determined it was not admissible in the case and evidence from police was not deemed sufficient to punish Cagliari.
Teenage striker Moise Kean was subject to racist abuse when he played against Cagliari for Juventus last season, as was midfielder Blaise Matuidi the year before.
The Italian league did not sanction Cagliari for either incident, nor did they do so when Sulley Muntari was abused by the same team's fans in 2017.
