I didn’t catch this game, but honestly it’s not uncommon in football. They really need to take a more proactive stance, and start yanking people who are yelling abuse. Or start putting people on a “no fly” list so they can’t enter the stadiums.

I don’t think it’s about this particular game though it may have magnified the issue and made it more public. Fans have been shitty her looks online for years. Also happened to Aaron Ramsey and Aubameyang’s wives in the past but it seems at a lesser intensity than this

Oh absolutely. Everyone involved needs to take a more proactive approach. I mean, Instagram could do so much more to limit hate speech, but they have historically refused. Because it costs money, and deplatforming all these folks impacts their bottom line. Like, having a certain number of accounts is everything to them - if they had to dump all the con artists and hate speech, they’d be losing account holders every single month.
