| Footballers To Boycott Social Media For 24 Hours on Friday In Racism Protest by ogbiwa: 5:54am On Apr 19, 2019 |
Professional footballers in England and Wales are to boycott social media today Friday for 24 hours, to protest against the way social networks and football authorities respond to racism.It follows a number of high-profile incidents in domestic and international matches this season. Earlier this week, Manchester United captain Ashley Young was racially abused on Twitter. And Watford captain Troy Deeney said "enough is enough". "On Friday we are sending a message to anyone that abuses players - or anyone else - whether from the crowd or online, that we won't tolerate it within football," said Deeney, who disabled comments on his Instagram after abuse earlier this month. "The boycott is just one small step, but the players are speaking out with one voice against racism." Racist chanting was directed at several England players including Danny Rose during a Euro 2020 qualifier in Montenegro last month - the Spurs defender later said he "can't wait to see the back of football". "I don't want any future players to go through what I've been through in my career," said Rose. "Collectively, we are simply not willing to stand by while too little is done by football authorities and social media companies to protect players from this disgusting abuse." The #Enough campaign, organised by the Professional Footballers' Association, starts at 09:00 BST on Friday and runs until 09:00 BST on Saturday. Players have been encouraged to post a #Enough graphic on their social media platforms before the boycott. Manchester United defender Chris Smalling added: "The time has come for Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to consider regulating their channels, taking responsibility for protecting the mental health of users regardless of age, race, sex or income." The PFA said the boycott was the "first step in a longer campaign to tackle racism in football". "The boycott acts as a show of unity by the players, and a call for stronger action to be taken by social networks and footballing authorities in response to racist abuse both on and off the pitch," the PFA said in a statement. Young was abused after United's Champions League exit to Barcelona on Tuesday. Twitter has said it is "suspending three times more abusive accounts within 24 hours after receiving a report than this time last year". "We'll continue building on this work to prioritise the safety of our users," it added. Incidents of racist abuse in 2018-19■December: Banana skin thrown on to the pitch during the north London derby at Emirates Stadium, after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for Arsenal ■December: Raheem Sterling suffers alleged racial abused during Manchester City's defeat at Chelsea. Sterling later says newspapers are helping to "fuel racism" by the ways in which they portray young black footballers ■March: Chelsea lodge a complaint with Uefa over racist abuse aimed at Callum Hudson-Odoi during the second leg of their Europa League win at Dynamo Kiev ■March: England report racist abuse of players during their 5-1 win over Montenegro in Podgorica ■April: Juventus' 19-year-old Italian forward Moise Kean suffers racist abuse from the stands during a match at Cagliari - with team-mate Leonardo Bonucci's suggestion that Kean was partly to blame called laughable by Raheem Sterling ■April: Derby winger Duane Holmes and Wigan defender Nathan Byrne are targeted by the alleged racist abuse in the Championship ■April: Deeney and Watford team-mates Adrian Mariappa and Christian Kabasele receive racist abuse on social media ■April: Young targeted on Twitter https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47982403 3 Likes

Tbh I don't think racism will be eradicated until the world comes to an end. So long as there are dark skinned and white skinned people, and so long as the white skinned people continue to somehow see themselves as being a superior specie, racism will continue. Sometimes racism exists solely in the mind and they may not say it out. Even some of the white skinned people you see openly condemning racism, in their minds they still feel somehow superior to the dark skinned people. Why won't they? See this quota:
▷More than 65% of the world's richest people are white skinned
▷More than 60% of popular inventors today are white skinned people
▷More than 80% of Fortune 500 companies are owned/managed by white skinned people
▷More than 80% of the world's top 1000 universities are founded by and run by white skinned people
▷The continent considered as the origin of black people- Africa, in 2019 is still wallowing in economic darkness, while the western world is tech advancing at a crazy speed of light. While most western countries are already investing into technology that is creating living conditions in extra terrestrial planets, the continent's 'giant' Nigeria, still come to social media to celebrate when a welder forms crude metal sheets into the seeming shape of a 'car' that doesn't move, while others are immersed in diabolical wars, large scale corruption, politicians thinking 1980s in 2019 etc.
A disaster happens in the western world and people's first thinking is what they can do to help, with millions of donations flowing in to aid victims, In Africa the first thinking is that it's not my business, in some cases it's how I can benefit from the disaster to become richer.
In all honesty, we can begin to tackle racism when the black man upgrades his way of thinking 128 Likes 17 Shares |

In all honesty, we can begin to tackle racism when the black man upgrades his way of thinking You are very far from truth. The black race has always been superior, in terms of natural resources,intelligence, art, inventories and also medicine(herbs) which attracted the whites at first and made them insecured. They resorted to the destruction of black nation by instilling confusion in us, making us to fight against ourselves. Besides racism can be eradicated if only we can unite again and build our continent to greatness once again not stealing from ourselves and enriching their country like our leaders are doing. 20 Likes |
