The NRL is reportedly investigating racial slurs made towards star Bulldogs recruit Josh Addo-Carr on social media.

Wide World of Sports reports Addo-Carr lodged a complaint with the Bulldogs on Wednesday and the club has passed the matter onto the NRL.

A Canterbury source told WWOS that an NRL senior intelligence officer has been engaged after Addo-Carr was subjected to vile attacks.

“Josh Addo-Carr has been receiving racial comments on his media platforms,” the source said.

“Josh has sent me the screen shots today of the comments.

“I have forwarded these messages onto David Lockley, the NRL senior intelligence officer.

“David investigated similar messages that (Bulldogs winger) Jayden Okunbor received previously.

“I have been in contact with Josh, and he is OK, but has requested the NRL step in as this person is relentless with messages.”

Addo-Carr, 26, has joined the Bulldogs as the club’s marquee recruit after winning two premierships with the Storm.

He is a New South Wales Origin and Kangaroos representative, in addition to being a terrific ambassador for Indigenous Australians. Last month he was a guest at the official launch of the Indigenous vs Maori All Stars game.

Several NRL players have been subjected to disgusting racial remarks including Rabbitohs superstar Latrell Mitchell, who spoke out against the attacks last year.

Two men were arrested last April for sending Mitchell abusive and racist messages.

I've seen screenshots of these racial slurs and they are bad. Keyboard warriors working overtime.

Stupid idiots have no idea that they can be tracked FFS. How stupid are they??

There really is no need for it. People think they are anonymous on social media but they are far from it.

Not the first time it's happened with him either.

Sounds like somebody at Fox Sports has a fake Instagram account

Exactly. All children are taught computing studies these days (mandatory) and I reckon as part of that syllabus they NEED to be taught that everything they post on social media is traceable back to them.

Even if it's a fake Fox Sports Instagram user account?

On a serious note, it shouldn't take racism to generate headlines, attacks are attacks and anything can be detrimental to the recipient.. META were supposed to have put the foot down on trolling but they did bugger all

Why even bother with these people can’t they just be blocked?

Fuck, there are some shitcunts in this world.

Exactly - I wish he would just block him and that would make the prick burn - unless he's creating a new user account every time. JAC did say this guy was relentless.

You can't make new usernames unless you're on a different ip each time. Call me a conspiracy theorist but I have no doubt in my mind it was some scumbag at one of the news networks.

I actually sent the guy who was harassing him a message and gave him a little education as to what he'll could land himself in if he doesn't cut it out.

Unsurprisingly, the idiot has no post or a profile photo on his account. Typical keyboard warrior.
