Senior crown prosecutor Gavin Sumpter said: “Harry Dunbar lost a simple bet, and in a moment of anger, chose to break the law.
“Dunbar’s actions in personally targeting Mr Wreh with such vile and hateful language whilst hiding behind an anonymous account were inexcusable and had a significant impact on the victim.
“We hope that this case makes it clear to like-minded individuals that such behaviour will not be tolerated.
“Individuals who act in this way can expect to be investigated and where there is sufficient evidence prosecuted and banned from attending games.”
The FA said: ” We hope that this ruling sends a clear message that incidents of discrimination – whether in person or online – will not be tolerated, and that strong action will be taken against perpetrators of this unacceptable behaviour.”
Dunbar was also given a 12-month community order and instructed to do 200 hours of unpaid work, increased from 150 hours due to the racial element, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
He was also ordered to attend 10 rehabilitation days and pay costs of £85.
