Lythamowl Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I will have no problem boycotting social media this weekend mainly due to the fact that I’m not on any........ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I only use Facebook and I did consider not using it in solidarity. But then I would never know that Katie in the next village had warmed up an Aldi pie for her husbands tea, or if that dog that was missing in Pontypridd ever did get found. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yes i will.................but TBF that is the same EVERY day for me. It will be interesting to see the age split on this.........for people of my generation it will be no problem whatsoever , but maybe not so to some of the younger age groups who have grown up with it and it`s second nature?..................i hope they do resist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Soul Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Frankly, a social media blackout is no where near enough. Football has seen recently what can happen when people are unhappy about a situation. The football authorities (and media) should recognise that it is possible to motivate people to achieve a goal. Thus far the message from FIFA , PL etc has not been strong or focussed enough IMO. Why? Because racism still exists in football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So no pre-match press conference or is that what Barry did the other day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I’m not on social media at all. But, I will be taking this boycott as an opportunity to talk to my two teenage sons about social media abuse and to make sure they are using the stuff they are on responsibly. Just because I don’t use it it doesn’t mean social media doesn’t affect me or I shouldn’t do whatever I can to stop misuse of it. Im not intending to preach but I’d happily bet most people who don’t use social media do have young relatives who do, and you wouldn’t want them to either get or send abuse. Maybe talking to them about what they see and how you manage to live without social media at all might be worthwhile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Therealrealist Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Why is it just for the weekend? Why dont all the clubs and players boycott it forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Racist, or any other abuse, is easy on Social Media. If you want to call someone black, coloured, foreign, idle or any other kind of racist or abusive, do it face to face, man to man, where your victim has a chance to reply diretly to you Social Media is not the place to be calling a pig a pig. Bt then, where is the fun in that., eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0rtherner Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I'll agree on the importance of the topic, I just hope they've thought this one through properly, and not like the Black Lives Matter movement that did the Black Out Tuesday (was it?) and failed to get everyone onboard with not tagging their black images with the hashtag #blacklivesmatter because it drowned all the real posts on the movement... I'm guessing our players will "boycott" social media if they fail to win this weekend too to block out all the reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
