Abuse towards footballers has become an increasing problem in recent seasons, with the footballing world taking a four day social media blackout in protest last year. The true extend of the torrent of abusive messages that top-flight stars face has now been revealed.
Ofcom have released a new report after analysing 2.3million tweets across the first half of last season. They found nearly 60,000 of those posts were abusive in nature, with seven in 10 Premier League stars targeted.
