Aston Villa and England defender Tyrone Mings has revealed he has been subjected to racist abuse on social media. Mings tweeted: “Another day in the life of social media with no filter… Please don’t feel sorry for us, just stand side by side in the fight for change. We’re with you, @OfficialTM_3.”Mings admitted at the start of April a social media blackout could be a way to force more action during an interview with Sky Sports. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson revealed on Wednesday he may close his social media accounts due to continued abuse directed at his team-mates and fellow professionals. The Euro 2020 qualifier in Sofia was halted on two occasions after racist abuse from the crowd towards the centre-back and some of his international colleagues was reported to the match officials.
