Everton Football Club has condemned the online abuse directed at Sandra Calvert-Lewin, following her supportive post about her husband, forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin. After enduring a challenging season, where he scored only twice at Goodison Park, Sandra's Instagram message celebrating his 30 goals was met with vicious backlash from some fans. The club described the abuse as threatening, racist, and misogynistic, stressing that such behavior is criminal and contradicts the values of the club. They are collaborating with authorities to identify the perpetrators and continue to support Dominic and his family.
"Everton Football Club strongly condemns the threatening, racist, and misogynistic abuse directed towards the wife of Dominic Calvert-Lewin on social media. This sinister and intimidating behaviour is not only deeply hurtful and distressing, it is also criminal - and does not represent the values of Everton or the overwhelming majority of our supporters."
"Threats or abuse of any kind - whether online or in person - are completely unacceptable and have no place in our game or in society. The club urges anyone who sees or experiences such behaviour to report it to the authorities and relevant social media platforms immediately."
