England’s cricket team would be prepared to boycott social media if players wanted to take a stand against online abuse, bowler Stuart Broad said.
Englishmen Jofra Archer and Moeen Ali have been abused on social media and Broad said he would be willing to object.
“There are big positives on social media, but if we have to lose those positives for a period of time to defend ourselves then that would be fine for that.
“If there was action, it would come from the leaders in our locker room and if the team felt a change was necessary, we have some really great people above us in the hierarchy who would be very open to the beliefs of the team. . “It’s a really strong message. I think it’s definitely worth the talk. ”
In soccer, Scottish champions Rangers and English second-division Swansea City said last week that they would boycott social media for a week after multiple players from both teams were racially abused.
