Social media and racial abuse

[Romared]

It’s time that something was done about racism and social media.OK we lost last night but that is no excuse for those idiots who posted racial abuse against the black English players.Those young lads are English and have done England proud and should be praised for their efforts in playing for THEIR COUNTRY.Last night the English team were beaten by a better team but they did their best and should praised for their efforts.During the competition those young lads gave this country a lift up from the dark days of the COVID pandemic.I for one is very proud of everyone of them black,white or any other colour.As for this social media,I think it does more harm than good and should be closed down.

It's pathetic how this continues to happen , it really has to stop. I personally don't think taking the knee helps , it encourages the morons who boo and use any excuse they can , on another note ? I didn't think England's player's did themselves any favours by removing their medals immediately " not all " it showed a lack of respect , poor sportsmanship and lacked any class , millions of young footballers will have seen this behaviour , some no doubt will copy, a bad example was set last night,

I noticed the silver medal bad sportsmanship thing Roma.

What's the odds on young kids coming second in a local sports/ school football competition copying their heroes in the near future ?

Will be interesting to see if Olympic silver medallists take off their silver medals after they have been put round their necks on the Olympic podiums.

Personal abuse of all kinds on all forms of social media, including football message boards, is an unacceptable but increasing trend.

It was in Rugby that this trend of removing runners up medals started, seems footballers have started copying this now.
