Not only do fans act out in the real world, they also bring their hate online. USMNT defender Mark McKenzie is now on the receiving end of some racism. He claims he received racist social media messages following Sunday night’s 3-2 win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League final.
“The amount of racial abuse and personal attacks on myself and family from ‘supporters’ and ‘non supporters’ just ain’t it,” McKenzie wrote on Instagram Stories Monday .
