A 24-hour boycott of social media by professional footballers in England and Wales has begun.Leading Premier League stars have thrown their weight behind it to fight against racist abuse online and from the stands.The campaign was launched by the Professional Footballers’ Association using the hashtag #Enough in a post on Twitter on Thursday evening.

We must always try to use the sport’s popularity and influence to make positive change.“Over the last few months we have seen a rise in appalling instances of racist abuse at grounds around the world, and on social media. We cannot stand by while too little is done to address this unacceptable behaviour.“The PFA has always been at the forefront of tackling racism and we are reaffirming our commitment to all of our members. We will do all we can to put an end to the abuse players face on the pitch and online.” Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has given his strong backing to the campaign, having himself been abused on Twitter after his side’s Champions League defeat in Barcelona this week.Smalling joins a lengthening list of players, also including Mohamed Salah, Danny Welbeck, Raheem Sterling, Michy Batshuayi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Moussa Sissoko, who have received abuse over the same platform in recent years.Smalling said: “Throughout my career I have developed a thick skin against verbal abuse, justifying it as just ‘part of the game’ but the time has come for Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to consider regulating their channels, taking responsibility for protecting the mental health of users regardless of age, race, sex or income.“I understand that I am in an extremely privileged position and I am deeply thankful for that but, at the end of the day, we are all human.“As a patron of a youth education charity it is my duty to use my platform as a voice for all, regardless of background. We have to take a greater stand against discrimination of all kinds.”

World governing body FIFA gave its backing to the campaign, saying in a statement on Twitter: “We support the initiative of the @PFA – FIFA is fully engaged in combating racism and discrimination, as clearly expressed by our President (Gianni Infantino) last week. FIFA is also preparing a concrete action with worldwide impact that will launch a strong campaign against discrimination.”

Mauricio Pochettino confronts referee Mike Dean (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images) When this Tottenham team don't battle, they don't win. It's as simple as that and Pochettino's post-match frustration was probably more to do with that - until Mike Dean's intervention - and he knows that these slip-ups against teams down the table are what's preventing the players from reaching the next level.
