Brentford FC strongly condemns the cowardly racial abuse directed at our player Ethan Pinnock on Instagram.

Racial discrimination is a stain on our sport and society and we will continue to fight against it.

We have initiated an investigation and will be seeking the support of the police and Meta to identify the perpetrator and hold them accountable.

This is a crime, yet it happens all too often. When can we expect social media companies to fully use their resources and technology to provide us with the safer online experience many of us want?

Ethan has our full support at this time.
