(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. Premier League clubs Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have also signed up to the plans. "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. 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. Liverpool midfielder James Milner said he had plenty of questions about the breakaway league, adding: "My personal opinion is I don't like it and hopefully it doesn't happen."
