Clubs from the Women's Super League have joined those in the Premier League, EFL and Women's Championship in closing their social media accounts from 3pm on Friday until midnight on Monday in a campaign entitled #Enough. Brighton captain Victoria Williams has previous spoken about the racist abuse she suffered as a child“We really need the social media platforms to start protecting the players. “You shouldn't be able to hide behind the anonymity of a screen, abuse people and there not be consequences. Social media needs to be an environment where football and players can showcase themselves. “Hopefully the three-day blackout will give social media platforms food for thought so they can start addressing the problem.”
