Dortmund (AP) – Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund has condemned racist abuse against his professional Jude Bellingham in social networks. The 17-year-old Englishman had racist emojis sent to him after the 2-2 draw at 1. FC Köln on Instagram on Saturday evening with the note “Just another day on social media …” “Racism is not an opinion!” Tweeted the BVB thereupon. “We condemn the racist comments against @BellinghamJude.”
The English Association also supported Bellingham. One was “disgusted” by the discriminatory abuse, tweeted the FA. “Something has to change.”
Bellingham had been racially insulted on the Internet before he moved from Birmingham City to Dortmund. “Times have to change. More has to be done,” he said in July last year.
