Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings has suggested that both players and clubs may have to boycott using social media to force the platforms into radical change.
Thierry Henry said that he would be stepping away from holding an online presence on the likes of Twitter and Facebook to highlight the lack of action over abuse.
Mings has thrown his support behind Arsenal legend Henry's stance - and admitted that the football world showing unity may be required to spark a crackdown.
He told Sky Sports News: 'I think it might get to a stage where the only alternative, if social media companies aren't doing enough, is that we show unity and all come off, and by all I mean the clubs as well.
