Roma's Justin Kluivert Calls for Racist Fans to 'Go to Prison'

Roma winger Justin Kluivert has suggested that fans who racially abuse players online should be imprisoned.

The 20-year-old told Sky Sports' Bryan Swanson: "People that do that [racist posts] have to, maybe, go to prison. It has to stop. It's not on me, I'm not so smart to fix that!"

He also said identity checks that prevent people from posting anonymously on social media could help: "Yes, something like that, because you can always see whose account it is or something. I hope so."

Kluivert's comments follow a number of cases this season in which players have been racially abused by supporters in stadiums and online.
