Women’s Euro: England Defender Jess Carter Takes Social Media Break After Receiving Racial Abuse
Jess Carter: England defender Jess Carter has revealed she will be taking a step back from social media after receiving racial abuse during the ongoing Women’s European Championship. Carter so far has played 310 minutes whilst starting all four games at the Euros during England’s run to the semifinal against Italy on Wednesday (IST).
“From the start of the tournament, I have experienced a lot of racial abuse. Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result, I don't agree or think it's ok to target someone's appearance or race. As a result of this, I will be taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with,” read the Instagram post by Carter.
After conceding two early goals against Sweden, the defending champions roared back and drew the quarter-final clash 2-2, before eventually moving past on penalties.
