Kick It Out chairman: More needs to be done to monitor online accounts

KICK It Out chairman Sanjay Bhandari believes that tackling online abuse has become a bigger problem for football given the anonymity various platforms allow its users.

Discrimination on social media is rampant, with numerous black players over the last few years across the leagues revealing the eye-watering amount of abuse they receive on their accounts.

With the Premier League season finished and a date set for the 2021-22 season, there is still uncertainty in regards to whether or not fans will be allowed back, be it socially distanced or not.
