Tottenham Reports Racist Abuse of Kevin Danso to Police After Brighton Draw

The response signals a tougher push to hold online abusers to account.

Overview

  • Totenham said Sunday it reported racist posts targeting defender Kevin Danso to the Metropolitan Police and to social media companies.
  • The club stated it will pursue legal action against anyone it can identify for the abuse.
  • The messages followed a stoppage-time error on Saturday that led to Georginio Rutter’s equaliser for Brighton in a 2-2 draw.
  • Spurs called the attacks criminal under UK law and pledged unconditional support for Danso as a player and as a person.
  • The incident fell during the Premier League’s No Room For Racism weekend, and the league warned offenders face stadium bans and possible prosecution.
