Bournemouth Forward says he was also focused online after alleged incident in Anfield.
Antoine Semenyo believes that prison sentences should be considered a punishment for racial abuse in football, after his “painful” experience by a supporter last week.
The first match of the new Premier League season was marred by an incident in which the Bournemouth Forward reportedly was the target of a Pitch-Side spectator in Anfield, during the 4-2 defeat of Liverpool.
Ghana International, born in London, who scored twice in the match, reported the incident to referee Anthony Taylor and a 47-year-old man was then arrested.
The man was released on a bail on suspicion of an exacerbated infringement of public order and is prohibited for every regulated football match in the UK as part of his bail conditions.
In his first interview about this, Semenyo told that ITV News had to be done even more – by both football and legal authorities.
“Whatever the Premier League does, it's not enough and there is more to be done,” he said.
He expanded the theme and added: “It can be imprisonment, it can be banned from stadiums for a lifetime, it can be something in the style, but I feel that there must be something else.”
The 25-year-old, who thanked the teammates, opponents and fans who showed him support on the day, also revealed that he was subject to further abuse on social media in the aftermath of the incident.
“I feel it just doesn't make sense this time and we want to know why it continues to happen. It was pretty painful to hear,” he said.
“I came back to the coach and I just went through my messages. I wanted to reply to family and friends, to be honest and then it clearly came across the screen on Instagram, I was also racially abused, and it was just like immediately after the game that happened.
“Someone has felt the need to get online and to do that, so that made me angry, to be honest. Why would you want to do that?”
