Disability hate speech in football
It’s the summer of sport, with Wimbledon and the Euros underway and the Olympics and Paralympics to come. The charity Level Playing Field, which advocates for disabled sports fans, says the sporting action has brought with it an increase in disability hate speech online and in stadiums.
Emma Tracey speaks to Tony Taylor from Level Playing Field and Willoughby Ellson, a player from Norwich City’s cerebral palsy team which recently won the FA Disability CP Cup in a match against Chelsea Foundation.
Also in this episode, Emma speaks to American social media influencer Rachel Chaleff, also known as Keet. Her social media videos about life with Tourette’s syndrome are watched by millions of followers.
