I'm afraid the social media boycott won't stop the abuse. As soon as it end it'll be as though nothing ever happened.
People, sick and vile people will continue to be racist. The best way to stop it? Punish the perpetrators. Hard.

What upsets me is there are so many accounts (not individual people clubs and organisations) doing it the appearances sake, knowing they could do more off the pitch to tackle this issue.
When racist abuse can't even be stopped during a game because refs fail protocol?

How do you expect to tackle hate in social media when hate in people's face still can't be handled correctly?
Sparta Prague vs Rangers?
Hertha vs Schalke?
England Vs Bulgaria?
They get swept under the carpet unless you react with aggression in the fight.

And Uefa joining in this boycott? It's a joke when they can't even handle in field racism.
The social networks themselves need to do more. Identify who is the account holder etc then you'll prevent it.
The knee worked because it provoked thought.
I'm not sure this does

It's got people talking. But has it gotten people angry?
The knee did both. I worry this won't have the same effect.
What happens if someone returns to socials after the boycott only to find their DMs littered with racist messages?

I get this abuse too. On social media.
The problem is, if I take a knee people are upset with me. They're angry. I say nothing but they're provoked, they're talking. Exactly what I want.
If I take a break from socials for a day return, the abuse is still there upon return.

So the networks need to take true responsibility and help prevent this happening. People won't stop using the networks forever. They know that.
So we've got to ensure there's accountability from these social platforms.
