The Jamaica international was speaking in the wake of England’s Euro 2020 qualifier in Bulgaria, which was marred by a section of home supporters taunting black players with monkey chants and Nazi salutes.
“I have to say is worse, but on the basis that when I first started there wasn’t the social media aspect to it all,” Morgan told Sky Sports at a Black History Season event. “That seems to be the catalyst for most of this racist behaviour that is happening.

Morgan said he was approached by the Premier League to be a part of their new BAME advisory committee formed with the aim of dealing with racism in the sport. “It’s a great opportunity and I’ve got something to offer,” the 35-year-old added. “We’re going to try and make changes for future generations to improve the game for them so it’s easier for them to come through without having to go through racism in any capacity.”
Any means of communication facilitates racial abuse. Are they fo real?
