Call for tougher action over online posts linking Asian players to coronavirus
Anti-racism charities have called on social media platforms to take tougher action after a series of posts linking Asian footballers to the coronavirus.
Analysis by the PA news agency found numerous posts on Twitter linking South Korean Tottenham attacker Son Heung-min and Liverpool’s Japanese midfielder Takumi Minamino to the virus.
One, by prominent Twitter account Troll Football, showed a meme of Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho leaping from his seat with the caption “when you hear Heung Min Son coughing”.
It was followed by another image of the Portuguese looking relaxed with the tagline “but then you realise he’s Korean”. The post was later removed.
