I see the media is (rightfully) in uproar after another racist tweet towards a footballer, to little avail. I feel there should be no coverage of incidents like these until the offender has been sentenced.
Twitter is the modern equivalent of the Neanderthal thug, standing in the corner of the old Rainham End screaming “maim the
