O/T Online cowards.

See CKR is the latest target of online racial abuse following his equaliser against Forest.
The other ‘popular’ target seems to be female football pundits.
What is the matter with these people?
Quite like to see them locked in a room for half an hour with CKR to ‘explain’ their behaviour.

Agree with Adi...if people transgress the ‘acceptable’ use protocols then hand their details to the police.

Not nice, my daughter got some hate recently just for daring to post a photo of her mixed race bf and her together. But tbh there are three probs with Adi’s suggestion - internet -wide, there are too many for the police to handle, most do it under the cloak of anonymity, and looking from the other side (and regarding your pundit thing) it is actually difficult to offer constructive criticism on most platforms without being subject to accusations of one -ism or another, which just drives folk to less considered comments.

Sorry to hear that about your daughter, AF. Interesting response. I actually think that Alex Scott may be too high profile and omnipresent at the moment. Perhaps a case of being ‘promoted’ beyond her ability...a criticism I’d also aim at Andrew Marr and Rylan Clarke-Neil amongst others.
I’m not sure what any of them have that marks them out as being so special...but that’s a very far cry from resorting to abusing them or reaching a ‘conclusion’ based on gender, race or se*ual preference and if anyone thinks that’s me betraying any sort of ‘ism’ prejudice then bring it on...it isn’t!

Thanks rA, complicated by my daughter often being mistaken for a South Asian and her bf for white (he's the absolute double of F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo). Combined with my other daughter and her black as coal Angolan-heritage bf (although they split recently), family outings have been 'interesting' and I've gained an insight into some of the discussions we have here.
