Bukayo Saka getting pelted with racist abuse on Instagram, absolutely disgusting! No surprise there though! About time social media was ended, it is out of control!

Weird one! Nobody deserves abuse, penalties can go either way, it's a cruel way to decide a game but the only way. Any sort of abuse is wrong, but the racism on social media right now is abhorrentthelaughingclaret wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:54 pmSouthgate needs to get the abuse for putting the pressure of the whole nation on the shoulders of inexperienced teenagers.
Are you really blaming his miss on having an eye on ensuring under privileged children get a meal?CrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:58 pmReally feel for that lad. Sancho too (on target). The Rashford one set the tone when we needed three to win. There’s a perfect example of why somebody in the run up to a tournament needs to stick to football so as to focus 100%. But racist abuse for any of them is deplorable. They need support not abuse.
Why would you want to abuse a young man for missing a penalty? Weird.basil6345789 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 12:03 amCan't we just abuse them but not in a racist manner- some awfull spot-kicks there - deserve some stick.
Only 1 way to stop it & it can easily be ended.damo_whitehead wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:57 pmWeird one! Nobody deserves abuse, penalties can go either way, it's a cruel way to decide a game but the only way. Any sort of abuse is wrong, but the racism on social media right now is abhorrent
The saddest part as you say is it’s no surprise.damo_whitehead wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:50 pmBukayo Saka getting pelted with racist abuse on Instagram, absolutely disgusting! No surprise there though! About time social media was ended, it is out of control!
Yep, I came off social media about 9/12 months ago and honestly happier for it. It's about time it is heavily regulated or banned.Steve-Harpers-perm wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 12:08 amThe saddest part as you say is it’s no surprise.
Less weird, but I was just pointing out someone on here condoning abuse of a 19 year old player because he took a bad penalty.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 12:07 amIt is weird, but is it more or less weird than abusing someone for having a different skin pigmentation?
It is social media that is heavily regulated - thank you for emphasising my point
He shouldn’t get abuse but light hearted banter about directions to the nearest specsavers wouldn’t go amissbasil6345789 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 12:06 amCos it was crap and he should've hammered it into a corner.
