Since recently other footballers have been victims of the deadly form of discrimination.
Players from Manchester United such as Axel Tuanzebe, Anthony Marshall, Marcus Rashford and more have received hard racism comments in recent times and that has led members from the organizational bodies of the English League, to request that Twitter and Facebook be more watchful and active where racial posts are concerned.
What they are suggesting is that social networks do an identification verification, to slow the number of derogatory race-based comments.
