Gareth Bale: Wales and Spurs star would join social media boycott to fight abuse

Wales captain Gareth Bale says he would join a boycott of social media if more is not done to combat "toxic" abuse across platforms.

Former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry has said he is removing himself from social media because of racism and bullying.

"Something needs to happen," said Bale.

"I think if everyone came together and decided to boycott social media, to make a statement [I would].

"If everybody did it at once, not just one or two people, and if we did a campaign with a lot of big influential people in sport and other forms of life came off social media to make a statement, then yeah, I think it could help.
