'Trolls forget they're dealing with human beings'

The scourge of online abuse is something that threatens us all - irrespective of fame.

And as our athletes have found, it's an increasingly toxic element of being a high-profile sports figure.In a candid conversation on The Athlete's Voice, Jofra Archer reflected on his own experiences of online abuse and stood up for another of its victims - his friend Marcus Rashford.

"They [online trolls] definitely forget they’re dealing with human beings," said Jofra. "I feel, because of the time we live in now, everybody's got a phone, everybody's on Instagram, you can - and you don't even have to know the person, you might not even follow the sport... If you turn your TV on, the first sportsperson that you see, put their name into Instagram and you can message them, like all within 10 seconds.

"You can ruin someone's day, someone that you don't even know, in 10 seconds. But that person cannot do anything about it, because nothing happens when you report pages [to] Instagram. "Instagram takes about 30 days [to respond]. You can't report a page just by yourself either, like… There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to go for a sportsperson."
