Quote ="post"Hey Egg Chasing, reading twitter and facebook does not constitute 'going out' for you.
How many times have you seen overt racism aimed directly to another person, not shouted at from the sidelines or typed on social media?'"
The players themselves gave specific accounts of overt racism. I've seen it plenty in conversations in pubs or conversations with my own family (my families take on whos responsible for lockdown is a particularly interesting one, akin to a players recent twitter comment.)
Racism shouted from the terraces or typed on social media is still racism. You can't say its gone away and then say it happens on social media or on the sidelines. Racism isn't always overt. Thats half the battle/argument.
An argument of "I don't see it so it doesn't happen" isn't going to win many debates
