What the Big Six clubs did in trying to join a breakaway European Super League was wrong. Very wrong. But a line was also crossed by some supporters on social media too on Saturday night.
Chelsea released a statement in which they pleaded with supporters to stop abusing club officials in light of their involvement.
They said 'anti-semitism, sexism, racism and threats of violence' had been directed at their representatives after the ESL debacle.
It's as easy as ever for fans to direct their hatred towards clubs, players, managers, even the kit man if they can track him down on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
