(Reuters) - Twitter's response to abuse directed at football players on its platform has been absolutely unacceptable, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) said ahead of a four-day social media blackout to highlight the problem.
England's soccer bodies are set to boycott social media from 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Friday to 11.59 p.m. on Monday May 3 in response to continued online racist abuse of players, with the campaign also receiving backing from a host of other sporting bodies, including UEFA and FIFA.
