BT Sport presenters and pundits such as Karen Carney, Robbie Savage and Ugo Monye have spoken out about the social media abuse they have received as the broadcaster launches a new campaign to stamp out online hate on its channels. BT Sport will be joining English football's social media boycott from 15:00 BST on Friday 30th April to 23:59 BST on Monday 3rd May. This horrific cycle of online abuse needs to end. BT Sport chief executive Marc Allera told the PA news agency: “It’s really brave of them to speak out about their experiences. BT Sport is joining the social media boycott which has been widely adopted across sport, and its channels will only post about the issue of social media abuse during the boycott period.
