More than 50 percent of footballers playing at international championship cups suffer online racist and homophobic abuse, study published by FIFA shows
About half of footballers playing at the European Championship and African Cup of Nations suffered online abuse, a study published by FIFA revealed on Saturday.About 38 percent of racist comments provided the majority of the abuse, said the independent report published to coincide with the United Nations International Day for Countering Hate Speech.
FIFA said with the World Cup in Qatar just five months away, they will work with players union FIFPRO to implement a plan on how to protect players from abuse on social media. "Although the offending message remains visible to the person who originally made the comment, its visibility and reach will be significantly reduced," said FIFA.'Discrimination has no place in football'
One teenager was given a six-week jail sentence for racially abusing Rashford on Twitter after the loss to Italy.
