Football authorities have called on social media companies and officials to take “the strongest action” after Tottenham Hotspur said forward Son Heung-min was subjected to “reprehensible” online abuse. Son scored Tottenham’s second goal in a 2-0 win against West Ham on Sunday, moving the club up to fourth in the Premier League table. “We stand with Sonny and once again call on the social media companies and authorities to take action,” Tottenham said in a statement on Twitter.
The claims of online abuse toward Son come a week after Brentford said that striker Ivan Toney was subjected to abuse on social media after scoring against Arsenal in the Premier League. Acknowledging both incidents, anti-racism body Kick It Out, an organization focused on combating discrimination in sports, said in a statement: “The longer it takes social media companies to take action, or government to pass the online safety bill, the more players will be abused.
