Yeah its one of them on twitter, because one faction is using the image of the players not kneeling for somewhat nefarious purposes, another faction is hurling abuse at the club for encouraging them. Total online nonsense, not surprised Carter has got fed up of it. Shame though.

Twitter is just a spreader of hate. I left it 6 months ago because I couldn't stand the nastiness and intolerance.The problem with all forums is they need moderation . The owners of Twitter don't want moderation as it costs the money . Pop Tart does a very difficult job on here for nothing.

Yep 100% to both points

It's a shame if Carter is getting grief on social media. It really isn't needed but unfortunately there is no check of intelligence or ethics when you buy a computer so it's a free for all.
Time to let him know what we think of him maybe to redress the balance.

I don't know him personally though have seen him do his job close at hand. I think he's one of the most important people we've ever had at Wakefield. He generally makes great and always good decisions in the clubs best interest.
He's well regarded in the rugby world, which, with no playing history to fall back on is quite an accolade.
I think the vast majority of Wakefield fans do appreciate him but unfortunately there are always going to be some who use anonymity to take a shot.
It's important to show that they are a small and unwanted group.

If MC has closed his twitter a/c based on some of the idiots that feel the need to have a go, then, good on him.
Without this guy, we wouldn't have a club, which tells us everything we need to know.

Social media, while at it's best is a marvelous thing to have, at it's worst, is a hot bed of vile insults and abuse.
It seems that the only way for people to put their point accross is either, over complimentary or just way over the top in the opposite direction and too many people just cant help themselves.

It's a shame that people cant moderate themselves but, they cant. He will be better off staying away.

Never been enticed to ever consider any of the social media sites. I like the RL forum because its on a topic i enjoy.
I just dont get why anyone wants to share their life and personal things and even more amazed that people follow it.

The abuse was to be expected unfortunately, someone in the changing rooms beforehand must have said "hang on this isn't a good idea"

Expecting it and condoning it are two different things.
Either way it isn't right.

Not a good idea according to who?

I may be misreading your post but if you are saying it was the wrong thing to do then I despair. Where does this sense of moral superiority come from?

Also when you say "this isn't a good idea"....... What do you mean by This?
Because the thing that happened was a group of sportsmen supporting each other, in particular a player who felt his religious beliefs were under pressure and making a stand against racism.
Sounds like a great idea to me.

As soon as I saw it just knew a load of people would jump all over it.

Not even sure why the RFL brought it in either, wonder if they consulted with the players beforehand - probably not.
