    Great to see the platforms being called to act. But at the same time the club is still present on twitter despite it being an absolute shitshow of a place for years.

    This isn’t a Galatasary issue, it’s a global one. Tarring an entire fan base on the basis of the actions of some fans is not the right move. Might as well say Liverpool fans have no class, because some of our fans have been done for bigoted and hateful things too.

    This is not a Galatasary issue. It’s a scumbag thing.

    What makes it even more bizarre is the fact that their best player is literally also a black muslim

  4. It’s not just Gala fan he’s getting off plenty of Nigerian accounts because someone who was at the game with nearly 1m followers made it out like he injured him intentionally

    I didn’t see this before I posted the link to this. It got deleted (sorry mods)

    But I still want to share what I said as I rarely post, just read, like and comment occasionally. This is what I posted.

    I’ve read statements before about racism in football but this seems to hit different. I don’t know the backaround to the abuse directed at Ibrahima Konate but it goes beyond condemning.

    Directly calling out the platforms and as the most popular club on social media (by some metrics), perhaps it’s trying to use it’s weight in a positive way

    Konate, you never walk alone on the pitch or online.

    People who do this abuse are not real fans IMHO, regardless of how well a player is playing or not.

    Fuck me, they’re still at it on the Instagram post. Disgrace to humanity.

  7. It’s crazy to me that fans can hurl racial abuse and then praise their black players in the same breath. Like every team in the world is united under one banner, with a player from every race and religion and (most likely going under the radar) sexuality.

    Racial abuse to a player is, in our day and age, completely unacceptable. From bananas on the pitch for Vini to this abuse to Konate. Pick on a player but ffs just do it right. It’s not difficult. The man’s French
