Exclusive: Romelu Lukaku urges social media CEOs to sit down with players to stop online abuse
CNN
In an exclusive interview with CNN Sport, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has urged the CEOs of social media companies to sit down with leading Premier League stars to try and put an end to the abuse that footballers receive online.
Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have implemented several new measures in recent months, such as being able to limit who can respond to posts, but star players in both the men's and women's game still regularly find themselves subjected to racist, sexist and homophobic abuse, as well as death threats.
This issue is personal for Lukaku, who has been targeted by racist fans in the past, and the Belgian international explains why he wants to be more directly involved.
