Brexit's just made people more angry in general, nothing to do with race.

Not really sure it has, just people of that ilk finding a justification for their behaviour just like people use religion, football etc.

It's a kind way of saying bollocks is poppycock. As I mentioned earlier racism has got nothing to do with Brexit, Brexit has made the nation angrier and nothing else.Dickhead

Don't agree .How the fuck is it to do with social media when someone racially abuses a player during a live match? What social media or animosity aspect does that have?
Of course Brexit, Trump etc has a lot to do with the racists crawling out the woodwork. You’re right that social media provides another platform for these twats to voice their idiotic opinions though.
Unless you pay for a static IP, the one you’re allocated will change very frequently. Blocking an IP is pointless as your mobile network will be different from your home network for starters, there’s also VPN’s to mask your IP and the option of nipping to anyone of fuck knows how many public open wireless locations.We're in 2019 with technological advancements that we're unthinkable but haven't found ways to block such ip addresses permanently or come up with real consequences for offenders. It's not impossible to do it but when intent is missing nothing will happen.
They should get rid of say no to racism slogans etc because any slogan without real action is worthless
As for other posters suggesting Brexit is responsible for the increase in racist incidents. Considering the majority, if not all, of the countries in the EU which Brexit is trying to take us away from are predominantly white and the increase in racist incidents is predominantly against black and Asian people, it just feels like an excuse with absolutely zero substance to try and make out a group of people are racist because they had the audacity to vote a way that others didn’t like.

The guy who did this to Sterling deserves all the shit coming his way, but to bring Brexit into it is a ridiculous suggestion, racists have always been racists.Unless you pay for a static IP, the one you’re allocated will change very frequently.

I know the guy from Bradford, In the late 70s early 80s he use to travel everywhere with us, never missed home or away. He lived in Earlstown and would travel with the Wigan blues. He was a loyal fan, always up for a laugh but I don't recall him being racist, I use to be a member of the Anti Nazi League and don't tolerate this sort of behaviour. We had Alex Williams and Dave Bennet as regular first teamers and don't recall him being abusive towards them. I hope this is a misunderstanding of sorts although its not looking that way unfortunately.

Complete delusion.
Race crimes jumped dramatically following the vote and things have been getting worse since.
Look around you. The increased racism in football in our country even. It’s all been boosted by Brexit.
The racists saw it as an affirmation of their beliefs and it’s all backed up by the facts and statistics.
All those nasty Brexiteers abusing the predominantly white European players, oh....Complete delusion.

But are they reported more simply because more people are reporting them compared to in the past?
More people are standing up to racists and homophobes than what used to happen. Where in the past people might have been scared to report them or would even turn a blind eye.
That's certainly part of it, and trying to untangle data can be hard, but my understanding was that better reporting didn't account for everything and that there was a general agreement that there has been a growth in the past couple of years.
