Stan Collymore returns to Twitter and hits out at the Sun
Stan Collymore has criticised the Sun as he returned to Twitter aftersuspending his account over racist abuse that he received on the site.
The former England striker, who has more than 500,000 Twitter followers, said the paper's front-page story in which his ex-girlfriend Ulrika Jonsson accused him of "hypocrisy" over the affair only served to distract from the issue of online abuse.
He said in a Google+ Hangout on sports website The Bleacher Report: "The Sun newspaper thought that dragging up a 15-year-old story this morning, which bears no relevance to being abused or threats, that that means there's essentially a justification … that because it's Stan Collymore it's OK … there is a real issue here that Twitter needs to tackle."
Collymore also traded angry words with a BBC News Channel presenter who accused him on Thursday morning of having been "on the wrong side of the law".
Collymore claimed: "I have 1 troll in particular. Opens account, send 3/4 abusive or illegal messages, deletes account. Over 700 accounts opened in 3 years."
Stan Collymore has gone back onto Twitter, after his account was suspended as of the racist abuse that he had received on the social networking site. He criticised the Sun majorly, and he stated he had 1 troll in particular, opens account, send 3/4 abusive or illegal messages and deletes account, over 700 accounts had opened within 3 years. This shows how he has gone against everything and still returned back onto the social networking site, he didn't let all the abuse get to him.
