When I saw the title, I thought it was about our Geoffrey explaining how you couldn’t be any good at cricket if you didn’t come from Yorkshire.

Me tooI’ve been boycotting social media for years. Vital is the exception.
Troy Deeney put it very articulately. It is a protest at sites that do nothing to ban people who cause offence. Even their wives and children get death threats every day which is unacceptable. The major sites only have to be organised like Vital Norwich who allow any of us to complain about abuse and it is investigated immediately. If the complaint is upheld then the offender can be banned. If Vital Norwich can do this then they all can. BUT They DON'T.Why Though?

Of course, you are correct Nathan, it will not stop them now, the same as taking the knee will not stop racial abuse. The idea behind all of these gestures (and nobody can possibly know if it will do any good) is for the next younger generation to ask adults "What are they doing that for" and then discussion may lead to informative learning.I use Facebook but none of the others. I won't be boycotting though. Seems absolutely pointless. Those who don't post online abuse at players are going to stop those that do by not being online for four days. How does that work? Those that do it will still be there in 4 days time. Nonsensical to me !
