Sheffield United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham has called on football enthusiasts to exercise restraint and “think before they type” after disclosing that he was subjected to racial abuse on social media.
The revelation comes in the aftermath of Sheffield United’s 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday, September 16. Foderingham specifically accused opposing fans of engaging in racist behavior and making “family threats” towards him through online platforms.
