BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) – The racial abuse suffered by Bournemouth winger Junior Stanislas after scoring in a 1-0 win over Stoke was “disgusting and absolutely intolerable,” the England south coast club said Sunday. .
Bournemouth is “the most powerful action possible” to oppose whoever is guilty of racism on Twitter and for the social media company to take a greater duty in removing hateful messages, said managing director Neil Blake.
“It’s disgusting and absolutely unbearable that he can be subjected to the racial abuse Junior suffered,” said Blake. “It amazes me that other people think that writing and posting such comments is okay.
“We will be reaching out to Twitter and the Football Association for their help in identifying the person in question, and we will continue to take the most powerful action imaginable against them. “
Blake needs a formal ID for social media accounts.
“We strongly believe that social media platforms want to take on a greater duty and duty for the movements of their users and the content that is posted on their platforms,” said Blake.
Bournemouth won on Saturday at the time of league qualification.
