Vile Twitter poll asking who ‘has longer to live’ out of terminally ill Bradley Lowery and injured footballer Ryan Mason slammed online
A TWITTER troll has been slammed for conducting a vile poll over who has "longer to live" out of a young cancer victim and injured Hull City midfielder.
The social media poll shared by @Giveit4Giroud asked "Who do we think has longer to live" between Bradley Lowery, a five-year-old football fan with terminal cancer, and Ryan Mason, a Hull City footballer who cracked his skull during a game last weekend.
The poll received more than 1,500 votes - but was quickly slammed by other social media users, who branded it "disgusting" and "horrid".
The account has since been deactivated, but not before sharing another inflammatory message, saying: "Oh so Bradley lowery and Ryan mason are off limits now?
"Political correctness gone made. Back in the good old days this would be fine."
The Sun recently revealed that injured Ryan Mason had been engaged to his long-term girlfriend Rachel Peters just ten weeks before suffering his horror head injury against Chelsea.
The midfielder had suffered a fractured skull, with the 25-year-old undergoing emergency neuro surgery at a London hospital.
Little Bradley Lowery also captured the hearts of thousands after the brave five-year-old was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The youngest was sent 20,000 Christmas cards and presents last year with his parents desperately having worked to raise money to help him travel to the US for treatment.
