Prince William against racism and sexism
Britain's Prince William has joined a social media boycott on the grounds of racism and sexism as President of the Football Association of England (FA). The Royal announced this on Friday via Twitter. Several associations and football clubs from the Premier League and other English leagues as well as rugby and cricket associations had previously called for the four-day campaign until next Monday.
They want to move the Internet platforms to take tougher action against racist and sexist insults on the Internet, which also affect many prominent athletes. The former French soccer star and Thierry Henry had completely deleted his appearances on social networks in protest in March. Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton and some of his colleagues also expressed their solidarity with the action.
