Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has shared a screenshot of racist abuse he received on social media following Sunday’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup final and asked, “When is this going to stop?”
The England international, who played the full 90 minutes as City claimed a record-equalling fourth successive League Cup triumph, posted pictures on Instagram celebrating their victory before adding a screenshot of the abuse.
“When is this going to stop?” Walker added and tagged the social media firm.
The abuse suffered by Walker comes a day after England’s football authorities joined forces to announce a social media boycott in response to continued online racist abuse of players.
The boycott will take place across a full fixture programme in the men’s and women’s professional game from 3 p.m. local time on Friday to 11.59 p.m. on Monday May 3.
