LaLiga supports Athletic Club star following racist abuse
LaLiga condemns the racist abuse Nico Williams was subjected to following the Copa del Rey defeat to Athletic Club.
Mendilibar stated in a press conference prior to Sevilla's matchup with Celta Vigo that he believed social media was doing more harm than good. He said, “I’ve never had social media in my life.
“All inventions are for the good, but they are used for evil. All of them. It is rare that someone on a social network flatters someone, it is usually to go after someone in the wrong way.”
“The players are realising that not all good, it isn’t all this player should go with the national team. The insults also come from other side. I like that there are things like this [holy week in Spain] so that they disconnect and return to normality.”
Mendilibar wary of 'detrimental' social media
Mendilibar continued by saying that he felt this was part of a social media trend that was equally detrimental.
Still speaking, Mendilibar said, “Today everything is digital, it goes through the air and we rarely see each other face to face, we talk person to person; that is lost and it sucks in my view.”
