Death threats show society must respond to social media |OPINION

In addition, players are in hubs, alone inside rooms, away from the voices of reason that inhabit their normal lives away from clubs. They are particularly vulnerable right now and there is an urgency to addressing this issue even though the risk will only diminish slightly when they return home.

It's not hard to find examples of words now directed at players such as Ward with Liam Ryan, Mason Cox, Travis Varcoe, Aaron Hall and Neville Jetta among the many to point out examples this season.Melbourne Storm star Ryan Papenhuyzen revealing threats towards NRL players are commonplace on social media.

The shift in the tenor of the abuse began in the '90s when Nicky Winmar made his brave stand at Victoria Park and the media began to highlight what was happening in the outer.Ground rationalisation, family areas, security and mid-strength beer underpinned continual education so the crowds now regulate as best they can any vile abuse.

Clubs can strip perpetrators of their membership if they discover the guilty party, which is one small step towards elimination. The AFL can tackle the social media companies that provide the vehicle for such attacks, but those organisations are yet to show a real inclination to stop the flow.
