Eric Bristow’s tweets about sexual abuse in football are straight from the dark ages

As if things weren't tough enough for the footballers who have come forward as victims of sexual abuse.

Former darts star Eric Bristow has said some damaging things about the former footballers who have recently come forward as victims of child sexual abuse. Insisting that if they were 'real men' they would have gone back as adults to 'sort out' the likes of Barry Bennell, Bristow's tweets are a strange combination of modern social media, 1970s macho bluster and a side dish of stupidity. Read these and weep. https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803330575352393728 https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803331340728995840 https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803331945476358144 https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803335373170573312 https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803348889206198272 https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803351879170355200 https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803353321725628417 https://twitter.com/ericbristow/status/803355152572891136
