I read some of the abusive tweets after the match. One of them was apparently an estate agent https://bhplaw.co.uk/blog/the-three-lions-the-tweet-and-the-racist-comment https://bhplaw.co.uk/blog/the-three-lions-the-tweet-and-the-... He said his account had been hacked, which I actually believe, as I remember seeing some weird accounts pop up. But the trial-by-public opinion already resulted in the estate agent losing his job. It struck me that this would (appallingly) be an effective way to destroy someone else's life: steal one of their profile photos, then create an account to tweet abuse after a prominent event, and let the mob do the rest. The day after the final there was a wall-to-wall media narrative that portrayed the UK as a racist country. Not until later did they report that the vast majority of abuse came from abroad. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58094408 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58094408
