Sheffield United condemn abuse of David McGoldrick PFA and Kick It Out demand tighter online regulationThe Professional Footballers’ Association and Kick It Out have called for tighter regulation of
Social Media companies after Sheffield United’s David McGoldrick became the latest
Premier League player to reveal he has been subjected to racist abuse online.
The Republic of
Ireland forward, who scored twice in Saturday’s 3-0 win over
Chelsea, wrote “2020 and this is life” as he shared a screengrab of a racist message sent to him. It came less than 24 hours after a 12-year-old boy was arrested by West Midlands
police after racist messages were sent to the Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha.
