Aylesbury Vale Dynamos FC joining in national Social Media Boycott

Don't expect anything to see anything online from the Aylesbury Vale Dynamos FC this weekend.

They are staging a Social Media boycott to prompt the social media companies do more about racial abuse and raise awareness of racial hate crime on line. 

The silence will start at 3pm tomorrow (30/4) until Midnight on Monday (3/5). 

Mike Borrett who is chairman of the Dynamos, told us its important grass roots teams like his stand with the bigger clubs, and hopes the campaign will make a difference. 

"It's easy for someone to make a racist comment online, so they should be made accountable and be punished for it and hopefully social media platforms will do something about this now and clamp down on it."

The Social media silence is part of the wider campaign within sport, #NoRoomForRacism.
