Tottenham, Watford, Manchester United and Arsenal players encourage action following several high-profile incidents this season.
Watford captain Troy Deeney was targeted with racists insults on Instagram earlier this month, forcing him to disable comments on his page, after scoring in an FA Cup semi-final win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"The boycott is just one small step, but the players are speaking out with one voice against racism enough is enough."Manchester United defender Chris Smalling, who along with team-mate Ashley Young was abused online following their loss to Barcelona this week, is also among those supporting the campaign.
Another supporter of the campaign, Arsenal forward Danielle Carter, said:"Football is more popular than it has ever been, but we have a discontented generation of players who won't stand for racist abuse any longer. Enough is enough.
