Seems to me that the recent bout of racism, in particular aimed at black players with various clubs, might be helped if the social media companies "outed" the perpetrators? At least then we'd all see exactly who the racists are in our, and other, clubs, and even if these vile scumbags are attached to any clubs at all.
Let's be honest, the thing that makes these "brave" keyboard "warriors" do what they do is the fact that they seem able to keep their anonymity. Remove that, and we might see that they are nothing like so "brave".

It’s not as easy as outing them when they’re posting anonymously.
We need more than that.
