To those that cant see it, a person messages Hamza saying; 

"Go kill yourself you poofy haired fat n*****" 

then 

"I hope your child gets cancer" 

 

This is over a ****ing football match. People need to grow up. The guys 21/22 and is getting abuse like from people about a tackle in a football game.

 

If this is what the world's coming to, I want out. 

I love football but this makes me hate it. The increase in racist abuse is really, really sad. Made worse by the fact that the social media companies do absolutely nothing to stop it or even discourage it.

I genuinely don't get it. Hamza is a year below me and I have no idea how I'd cope with hundreds of people sending racist slurs and threats. 

 

Football is a brilliant sport, ruined by brainless twats. 

 It infuriates me how social media companies or the government haven't started to enforce things to stop this happening. With the tech we have, it's not difficult to track these people down. 

 

Something needs to be done

always wondered what this actually means, what are "they" meant to do? 

 

twitter and instagram (where most of this abuse happens) take down messages and block accounts eventually, usually pretty quickly tbf. that guys account was gone inside half an hour cos i searched him to laugh at his weird little life but he no longer exists. 

 

other than just not exist at all, what is something like instagram meant to do? players can have private accounts if they don't want personal messages filled with hate, too.

I take your point but I'm pretty sure the technology exists to recognise and delete this stuff instantly. You'd think there'd be safeguards whereby a Tweet that contains the word n*****r can't even be posted. It shouldn't even take half an hour to detect and delete. How many people will have seen it in that 30 minute window?

i mean i did say inside half an hour, it could've been literally 10 seconds i ain't sure. 

 

it's the internet bro, we can't just sensor everything. what if a tweet used a "racist" word from a song lyric? or an "offensive" word in a historical context? i mean obviously it's in the minority but we can't have an internet where every word that offends someone is just censored, can we? where would that stop, you'd have people wanting every swear word, every slang word, probably every single word censored. may as well just call it a day.

Annoyingly, you're right. We can't just censor out every mildly offensive term. Companies are just going to have to get quicker at identifying and removing posts with words like n***** etc. 

 

You just need lower tolerance and repercussions for it. There is 100% a way of identifying who the offenders Are.

The problem with that is that players with have promotional deals (i.e with Adidas or Nike) that they have to promote on their social accounts that they earn a tonne of money through, you can counter that and say then don’t agree to those deals but why shouldn’t they?

 

I won’t tar all Liverpool fans with the same brush but there’s a proportion of their fans that are disgusting - more so than any other UK club imo, the fact Liverpool haven’t even put out a statement condemning it does reflect well on them either. Always the victims though aren’t they.

 

I don’t think Hamza will let it affect him, he’s unfortunately probably used to it but let’s make sure we get behind him from the stands next game!

Says a lot doesn't it? 

A Chelsea fan was caught doing it, the club banned him for life and it was all over the news. 

Hamza is targeted and all we get is a LCFC statement. If it turns out to be Liverpool fans, you'd expect a full statement condoning the actions and banning 'fans' from Anfield. (Not that that impacts most of their fan base) 

 

Wouldn't hurt Klopp to come out and condone it either. 

[CosbehFox]

Liverpool have past history for not being the most condemning of their fans when they are idiots. I’m talking recent times as opposed to events of another generation. 

 

You can sum up the club recently with their attempts to copyright Liverpool, You’ll Never Walk Alone and Allez, Allez, Allez. They are one of the few clubs who actively shut down streams and recorded clips themselves as opposed to the PL.

They could IP block them for a start. They will still find a a way to make the tweets but it would be more pf a hassle

[urban fox]

Every post on social media leaves a trail such as the iP address of the device from where it came. They can target us with ads so they can definately trace such offensive posts if there was a real will to do so.

[ScouseFox]

yeah that’s fine but like i said basically every post that gets highlighted does get deleted or blocked etc anyway. the one highlighted above is literally only available to anyone to see because it’s on hamza’s instagram story that he has posted. 

 

im not really sure what my point is but i’ve always wondered why social media gets the blame for the action of its users. it’s like if one fella in our ground called someone a monkey, they’d probably (hopefully) get removed. are we then gonna start issuing gaffa tape as well as clappers so we can all tape our mouths closed because someone else might say something offensive? 

 

the people are the problem, not the platform. so unless your solution is to kill all the people then i’m afraid you’ve just gotta get on with your life. it’s just pointless words on a screen. surely nobody actually gets upset about anything on the internet anymore?

With the tracking and technology available they could easily track 99% of these people down. They just don't want to. 

 

In fact they already know who they are, where they live, what they like, where they go, who they hang out with, where they work, everyone they come in contact with, their favourite food, what car they drive, who they're related to and what they're going to do next before they even do.

and then do what with them? tell them off? put them in jail? let's be realistic, we aren't going to put thousands of dumb as fu ck 14 year olds or knuckledragging middle aged idiots in jail every week because they called random famous people nasty words on the internet. 

[THE INSTRUCTOR]

If hamza had done that wearing a England shirt he would be a hero  he did nothing wrong . Horse teeth German kock should be blaming the ref for not blowing up for salah fouling soyunch then the challenge wasn’t necessary. Hamza is the victim here of poor refereeing 

 

[Mendi]

I hope they find the cowards soon.

I bet that’s just the tip of the iceberg too. The tweets and Instagram comments are bad enough but sending him personal messages is targeted harassment.

This is not a football problem its a social problem, to many blame football

Bingo. Was trying to convey this point in my mind,  but feared it would sound like I was trying to excuse racism.

Which I definitely am not.

A person is usually reasonable, but people are liable for this type of herd/group mentality of brainless bigotry

Social media is a tailor made platform for this.

[ozleicester]

People say its the power of anonymity, but its more than that, its racist world leaders allowing even supporting this hate

the irony of us bringing Klopp's nationality into any insults against him, in a thread complaining about racist abuse of one of our own

[Babylon]

I was expecting the foul to be horrific after Klopps reaction and the abuse online, it was a complete freak accident that he got hurt. It wasn't a great tackle but there was no malice or intent there at all. He was just unlucky his thigh caught him. Ludicrous reaction from Liverpool.... clearly deflecting attention away from their own swan diving. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Liverpool Football Club deflecting the attention away from their wrongs by highlighting someone else's. Imagine my shock. 

[Finnaldo]

Imagine a club so quick to bring up their own tragedies and injustices being this vile. Don't think their support of Suarez has been forgotten either.

 

That scruff Klopp and his disgusting stained teeth and coffee & fag breath is a perfect reflection of a large chunk of their fanbase. Absolute lowest of the low constantly dropping to new levels of subhuman behaviour.
