Martial Racially Abused On Instagram After West Brom Draw

By Daily sports on February 15, 2021

Manchester United forward Anthony Martial was racially abused on Instagram after his side’s 1-1 draw at West Brom on Sunday.

He is the latest United player to face abuse online after Marcus Rashford and Axel Tuanzebe were recently targeted.

Last week Facebook, which owns Instagram, said it would not ban a user who racially abused Swansea’s Yan Dhanda.

“Here we go again,” said Kick It Out’s Troy Townsend.

“It’s so predictable now.

“I wonder if this account will be barred for a month and collect their ‘Insta slap on the wrist’ and ‘don’t do that again’ talk.”

France forward Martial, 25, played 66 minutes of the 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns.

The social media post targeting Martial contains a number of users tagging Instagram and calling on the platform to do something about the issue.

Speaking on 7 February Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger said he has been subjected to “immense” racist abuse on social media.

Swansea’s Dhanda says the lack of action taken by social media companies over online abuse is giving people “the green light to go and do it again”.

British Asian Dhanda, 22, was abused on Instagram after his side’s FA Cup defeat by Manchester City.

In that case Facebook said it had temporarily stopped the user from sending Instagram messages.

The company said people deserve a chance to learn from their errors.

“We do not want racism and hate on our platforms,” a Facebook spokesperson said.

Both Facebook and Twitter say they are committed to eradicating abuse on their platforms. (BBC)
