Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw of Manchester City has withdrawn from an upcoming League Cup match against Arsenal due to racist and misogynistic abuse she received after a recent game. The club has condemned the abuse and is supporting her decision to prioritize her mental well-being. Manchester City reported the incident to the police and has vowed to stand against discrimination in all forms. The Women's Professional League also expressed their outrage at the treatment of Shaw and others, emphasizing that such abuse is unacceptable in sports.
"Manchester City were appalled to learn that Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw was subjected to racist and misogynistic abuse following Sunday's fixture. Discrimination of any kind... will not be tolerated."
"Bunny has decided not to share the messages publicly so as not to give the oxygen of publicity to the vile individuals who sent them. The content has been shared with the authorities."
