Following their recent matches, players Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw and Millie Bright faced racist and misogynistic abuse. Shaw received appalling messages after Manchester City's WSL defeat to Arsenal, leading to a promised investigation. Bright expressed her disappointment at being insulted during Chelsea's victory over Aston Villa. The Women's Professional Leagues Limited condemned this behavior, asserting that players deserve respect and safety both on and off the pitch. They are collaborating with the clubs for support, emphasizing that such behavior has no place in football or society at large.
We are shocked and saddened to hear about the incidents that occurred over the weekend... There is no place for it within women's football or wider society.
Football should be a safe space for everyone involved, and the abusive comments directed at players like Khadija Shaw and Millie Bright are completely unacceptable.
