Arsenal have decided to ban any supporters that show abusive behaviour on Twitter
In a controversial move by the Gunners, fans will be denied entry to matches if they are abusive over social media
ARSENAL have taken to the fight against online trolling as they team up with Kick It Out to ban anyone from attending matches that have been found guilty of football related discrimination.
It comes after the back end of last season saw Arsene Wenger receive a torrid of abuse inside the ground and on Twitter with many supporters venting their anger towards the manger after their slump in form.
Kick It Out have recently launched an app aimed at tackling football related abuse on Twitter to try and put an end to what has been pretty much an unpunished crime.
The idea may just deter fans from committing such offences as social media has given the modern day fan a platform to abuse from afar rather than just inside the ground.
Its clear Arsenal don't want these people coming to the Emirates or away matches as they can preach discrimination as well as tweet it.
The length of the bans will be determined by how strong the abuse is but the club wont hold back from issuing life time bans as one fan has already been handed a ban of over a year after
Arsenal and Kick It Out may well get the ball rolling to stop the absurd trolling that is often aimed at players, managers and other supporters time will tell if it works.
