Bournemouth, Jan 3: Racial abuse suffered by Bournemouth winger Junior Stanislas after scoring in a 1-0 win at Stoke was “disgusting and completely intolerable,” the south-coast English club said Sunday.
Bournemouth wants the “strongest possible action” taken against the person responsible for the racism on Twitter and for the social media company to take greater responsibility for eradicating hate messages, chief executive Neil Blake said.
“It is both disgusting and completely intolerable that anyone could be subjected to the racial abuse that Junior has received,” Blake said.
Blake wants formal identification requirements to use social media accounts. (AP)
