Cheshire man sentenced for racist abuse of England players
Supporter convicted of online racial abuse of former Premier League footballer
Such behaviour will not be tolerated in football and will be prosecuted by the CPS. As this is a hate crime, we will apply for a harsher sentence to reflect that.
I would like to thank the witness for bringing Silwoodβs post to the attention of West Bromwich Albion which then reported it to the West Midlands police.
Absolute cuckery. Getting thrown in jail because a fat foid on twitter reported you
Hate crimes such as these have a massive impact on players and their mental health. The CPS takes this kind of offending very seriously and this case shows that where offensive content is reported to the police we can successfully bring offenders to justice.

Do you not think that it's ok for racist abuse to be a crime? I understand that
are very protective of freedom of speech and slippery slope and all that, but I feel like racist abuse can be pretty clearly defined in a way that doesn't intrude on normal people's freedoms. I'm happy that people like this are prosecuted. They're dumb and they have no place in modern society. Nothing good can come from letting them say things like that.
I for one love seeing my brave Lions go on their world kneeling tour, causing seethe and stadium bans wherever they play. We truly are the least racist country in the world and things like this are only helping to make us even better
