Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford most abused footballers on Twitter, Ofcom report reveals

Manchester United players make up eight of the top 10 most abused players on Twitter, a new report has revealed, with strikers Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford, together with club captain Harry Maguire, receiving the most anti-social messages.

Manchester United players made up eight of the top 10 most abused players. Cristiano Ronaldo received a total of 12,520 abusive tweets, Maguire 8,954 and Rashford 2,557, the report found. The study used new technology that can decipher whether tweets are abusive, while 3,000 random tweets were also manually reviewed. Of those 3,000 tweets, over half were positive, 27 per cent were neutral, 12.5 per cent were critical and 3.5 per cent were abusive, said Ofcom.

"Social media firms needn’t wait for new laws to make their sites and apps safer for users. When we become the regulator for online safety, tech companies will have to be really open about the steps they’re taking to protect users. We will expect them to design their services with safety in mind. Twitter is also engaging in focus groups with football partners to work on ways to reduce abuse. A Twitter spokesperson told the PA news agency: “We are committed to combating abuse and, as outlined in our Hateful Conduct Policy, we do not tolerate the abuse or harassment of people on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation.

So not just men of colour

Why.

Sticks and stones

Racism

Apart from Ronaldo, who's self centered, the other 2 would of have had tweets about them being shite

This is proof of how equitable the game has become. 1 black man. 1 latino man. 1 white man. All abused equally. We are now at the gates of utopia.
