Social media boycott: Premier League clubs join four-day move to tackle abuse

Premier League, English Football League and Women's Super League clubs will join in a four-day boycott of social media platforms in an effort to combat abuse and discrimination.

The Football Association, as well as league bodies and other organisations, including anti-discrimination charity Kick it Out, will also be involved.

"This boycott signifies our collective anger," said Kick it Out's chairman Sanjay Bhandari.

"Social media is now sadly a regular vessel for toxic abuse.

"By removing ourselves from the platforms, we are making a symbolic gesture to those with power. We need you to act. We need you to create change.
