Jamie Lewis and Wayne Mardle quit social media due to abusive messages
PDC
A lot has been reported about the abuse that has been suffered by darts players during the Coronavirus pandemic especially with online darts highlighting this.
For Jamie Lewis and Wayne Mardle in particular, they have decided to leave social media due to abusive messages sent to them as of late.
Lewis has just played in the MODUS Online Live League and said that he has constantly received messages saying he was throwing matches and said that as a result, he was leaving social media for his own mental health.
While for Mardle, it is due to 'detestation and loathing' which he called unacceptable and that he will not be using Twitter for a while personally but only for business.
I don’t have social media accounts, Facebook or Twitter etc not sure why Jamie takes so much heat, he is a real nice guy. I can understand the heat mardle takes as I don’t know anyone that has anything good to say about him and he is not very popular, so many people I know would love Chris Mason to replace Mardle on SKY. The bottom line is surely people on social media can except good and bad comments but also comments can be traced back to an individual.
we need to be able to track these people down electronically and penalise them. it's abuse and its a crime
I hope there are some keyboard warriors with their heads held low today, but there probably aren't. scumbags. chin up Jamie, you're stronger than they are!

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
