Tottenham to fight against online abuse - Mourinho

The Hindu  

Tottenham Hotspur wants to make an impact on the fight against online racist abuse after defender Davinson Sanchez was targeted last week, and may join other teams in a boycott of social media, manager Jose Mourinho said. Scottish champion Rangers and English second-tier side Swansea City said on Tuesday they will boycott social media for a week after several players from both teams were racially abused. “The club is thinking, analysing every detail and the club of course wants to make an impact,” Mourinho told reporters before Sunday's Premier League game at home to Manchester United. In relation to Davinson, there is nothing more to add about the sadness of the situation, but I would just say that he found a lot of love internally because he's a lovely guy and everybody supported him and he's fine.” Several Premier League players like United's Axel Tuanzebe, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial along with Arsenal's Willian and Eddie Nketiah have been targeted online in recent months.
