Tottenham Hotspur has strongly denounced the racist abuse directed at defender Kevin Danso, which occurred after the team's 2-2 draw with Brighton. The club has reported the incident to the police, stating that the abuse is 'vile, dehumanising racism' and a 'criminal offence' that will not be tolerated. Danso, who was subjected to significant racist abuse on social media, has spoken out against the comments, saying they have no place in the game. The club has pledged its full support for Danso and is taking immediate action to address the issue, working with authorities and social media platforms to identify perpetrators and push for the strongest possible action.
The Premier League and Kick It Out have also condemned the abuse, emphasizing that discriminatory behavior has no place in football or society and that those responsible will face consequences.
