Following the abuse of the Chelsea, Man Utd and other premier league players as well as the death threats sent to Mike Dean’s family, what action should be taken?
Personally I think stopping the premier league season needs to be investigated at this point and look into how widespread the issue is in lower leagues and stop those if required. If all the taking a knee and say no to racism really means something, it’s about time some action was taken.
I’d also mic the refs up to let fans hear their reasoning, and take dissent much more seriously. Bookings straight away and a sending off if you carry on. If the players aren’t arguing back and respecting the referees then maybe the fans will be more inclined to.
The abuse of the players and officials has gone way too far, even the non racist and non death threat abuse. Even on here, you would not say some of these things out loud so it’s not ok to type. People really need to take a long hard look at some of the things they are saying and typing.
Just focus on cheering and celebrating the talent rather than being a d***.
