Huddersfield said in a statement: “We’re aware of the racist message sent to Philip Billing over social media on Tuesday evening and have subsequently referred the case to West Yorkshire Police.“Huddersfield Town does not tolerate abuse of any kind and has a zero-tolerance stance towards any form of discrimination.“We will give our full cooperation to the police to deal with this matter in the strongest possible way.” Denmark Under-21 international Billing retweeted the message urging him to leave the Premier League club.The supporter told Billing: “Leave our f****** club I never want to see you in a town kit ever again you useless wanna be black donkey.”Billing, a regular starter for Huddersfield this season, simply retweeted the taunt with a thumbs down emoji.The midfielder has produced several outstanding displays for the Terriers this season.His form has led to speculation of a summer move to another Premier League rival, but he was withdrawn at half-time in last Saturday’s home defeat to Bournemouth.Town boss Jan Siewert said after the match that he was not sure whether Billing was carrying an injury or not.Huddersfield slumped to a 15th defeat in 17 league games and are 16 points from safety with eight matches remaining.

The abuse of Billing is the latest in a series of incidents of racial abuse which have marred English football this season.A Tottenham supporter was handed a four-year football ban for throwing a banana skin at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Arsenal forward, while Raheem Sterling was allegedly racially abused during Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat of Manchester City at Stamford Bridge last December.Sterling later hit out at newspapers for their treatment of young black footballers, claiming the media ‘helps fuel racism’ for portraying them differently to their white counterparts.
View this post on Instagram Good morning I just want to say , I am not normally the person to talk a lot but when I think I need my point to heard I will speak up. Regarding what was said at the Chelsea game as you can see by my reaction I just had to laugh because I dont expect no better. For example you have two young players starting out there careers both play for the same team, both have done the right thing. Which is buy a new house for there mothers who have put in a lot of time and love into helping them get where they are, but look how the news papers get there message across for the young black player and then for the young white payer. I think this in unacceptable both innocent have not done a thing wrong but just by the way it has been worded. This young black kid is looked at in a bad light. Which helps fuel racism an aggressive behaviour, so for all the news papers that dont understand why people are racist in this day and age all i have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity an give all players an equal chance.A post shared by Raheem Sterling x (@sterling7) on
Chelsea supporters have also been accused of singing anti-Semitic chants during a Europa League match in Hungary, with the west London club set to send racist fans to Auschwitz instead of handing out banning orders.The club’s owner, Roman Abramovich, is at the forefront of the initiative, which is to educate supporters and make them learn from their previous bad behaviour.
