daored Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sadly this is a topic that keeps happening. Firstly this isn’t a problem within football, it’s a society issue, a person who makes these comments doesn’t do it because they’re a football fan, they do it because they’re scum. Clearly social media platforms need to have stronger rules , and people simply can’t wrote abusive messages just because they want to. The authorities need to be tougher on this and education of the bigots is required. It’s extremely sad that in 2021 this issue is still prevalent in our society and needs removing. Unfortunately the cowards who ‘type’ this abuse wouldn’t be ‘big’ enough to say it these people face to face. Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford says he was subjected to "humanity and social media at its worst" after receiving racist abuse on Saturday. On Friday Chelsea said they were "disgusted" after right-back Reece James was racially abused on social media. On Saturday a man was arrested after a racist message was sent to West Brom midfielder Romaine Sawyers. Rashford's team-mates Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial were racially abused on social media after the defeat by Sheffield United on Wednesday.

BCFCGav Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Do they send these messages from anonymous accounts? I have no idea how these investigations work but you’d like to think we’re more than capable of finding these people, they should then be made an example of. Lock them up and put in the media that they’ve been locked up. That would hopefully deter at least some of the vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 You’re right it is a society thing. Racists haven’t gone away, it’s just for a period of time they were silenced through “policing” and “social embarrassment”. However through the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon, they gained a mouthpiece and social acceptance again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they’ve got ‘social acceptance’ as such - the vast majority are still anti their views. But yes, the people you mention and others like Trump have flirted openly with racism which has made the outright racists feel brave enough to start going public again.

There is a lot less overt racism and it’s certainly not like the 60s when open state racism was common. However racists still exist and the racist instincts in otherwise normal people get aroused by agitators for political gain. A mirror of the UK.

Let's get this straight now, as you are drifting into pointing the finger at others and getting very close to incorrect and personally offensive remarks. Just to clarify your point you are stating that there is a racism problem in the UK based on these footballers getting abused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Humble Realist Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Why dont all footballers and all football clubs/organisations come off all social media and encourage fans to do the same for at least the rest of 2021 . Then state theyll only return if these social media companies make significant changes for 2022 Would have a huge impact potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but then the vile racists win and the vast majority of people who use social media correctly get punished. Ban them from accessing any social media, convict them and name and shame them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
