Why? Because of social media now as well,&#8221; Lukaku told CNN Sport.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I understand why people like Thierry Henry are blocking social media because it&#8217;s easy, you can track somebody down &#8230; The social media companies, they have to do more for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, former Arsenal forward Henry deleted his social media accounts following a spate of online racist abuse aimed at Black footballers.<\/p>\n<p>He slammed social media companies for their inability to hold users accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me, to be honest, I don&#8217;t really see progress. I see a lot of campaigns and all that stuff, but really until there is no real action taken,&#8221; Lukaku added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Italy, when it happened to me directly, there was something that was done because the Serie A really communicated with me and my team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we basically tried to educate people in Italy that it is not good, because in Italy, it is a beautiful country and I&#8217;ve been accepted really well by everybody, home fans, away fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think when that happened, it changed. That&#8217;s what all the leagues should do. They should talk to the players and basically try to start doing things with the players and with their teams.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inter Milan and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku believes racism in football is at an &#8220;all-time high&#8221; ahead of the start of the European Championships.
