- Swansea players and staff will not use social media for a week
- Rangers and Birmingham suspend their platforms too
Rangers became the latest club to join a social media boycott led by Swansea City as football turned up the heat on Facebook and Twitter in the fight against online abuse. Championship clubs are pushing for English Football League teams to adopt a powerful collective approach to tackle discrimination following Swansea’s decision to announce the club, all their players and their staff would shun all social media for a week.
In a groundbreaking move, Swansea announced that from 5pm on Thursday their first-team and academy players would not post any content on social media for seven days and the club would not post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, YouTube or TikTok. Rangers have followed suit, saying they are concerned by the “daily racist abuse” their players suffer, and Birmingham said they would not publish any content on their platforms for a week.

Norwich have emerged to lead the pack but Swansea, Watford and Brentford will still fancy their chances of a top-two finish
And so we reach the final chapter. The league season might by general consensus be a marathon not a sprint, but this is no time for pacing yourself: what stands in front of the Championship’s promotion hopefuls is several weeks of full-throttle acceleration, a wild dash to breast the finishing tape.
“We’re going into the vital end of the season,” says Steve Cooper, the Swansea manager. “OK, there are still three points a game but it feels like there’s more on it than there has been in previous phases of the season. We’ve got to embrace the challenge. It’s all about grabbing the opportunity with both hands, making the most of it and trying not to have any regrets.”
