Player abuse following Euro 2020

A few lads from Portsmouth U18's in trouble, sickening stuff.

Southgate said that analysis of previous posts showed they came from outside of the UK. Not sure it is much consolation but maybe a bit of a different perspective on it?

It wouldn't surprise me at all, and I've been wondering the same thing. Just look at the crap Sterling gets on our official Twitter and Facebook pages from people who are 'Mahrez fans'. Obviously there is a worrying (and depressingly predictable) amount coming from English fans, too, but I do feel the foreign (including the more blatant Welsh, Scottish and Irish) sources of the abuse have been ignored.

Its very sad - they shouldn't have to do this but these racist wankers make it happen - you can see its been playing on his young mind

so many people on my social media spent most of the Euros complaining about the players taking the knee and now these same eople are up in arms in faux outrage about the racist treatment the players are getting. fucking knobs. Sadly a lot are family or I'd just delete them

isnt it possible to block replies to posts? Why dont the players just do that? Also block DM etc..

There's a really quick solution to social media hate messages. Users put down a £100 deposit on their account and lose it if they post something that breaks the CoC.

Haha as if Dawsey and Zuckerberg weren't rich enough.

I doubt the social media companies would go for it. People might realise they don’t need it.

That's true. They've made money out of people wanting to get their opinions out. Those people have got used to being able to do this for free but that's actually a very recent ability, one used to have to pay to do that before, and, guess what, there was a lot less hate written.

Funny that.

The whole point I think is that they shouldn’t have to and that’s correct.

When do you get it back? When you deactivate?
