Man City’s Shaw doesn’t travel to Arsenal after ’racist and misogynistic’ online abuse
The HinduManchester City forward Khadija “Bunny” Shaw didn’t travel with the team for Thursday’s League Cup semifinal against Arsenal after being subjected to “racist and misogynistic” abuse on social media over the weekend. Shaw, one of the top women’s football players in the world, was targeted after a Women’s Super League game Sunday against Arsenal, which City described as “disgusting treatment.” City did not expand on the content of the messages but said they had been forwarded to authorities. “Discrimination of any kind, either in stadiums or online, will not be tolerated and has absolutely no place inside or outside the game,” City said in a statement Wednesday. “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.” In 2023, FIFA said one in five players at the Women’s World Cup that year received “targeted discriminatory, abusive or threatening messaging.” Almost half of “detected and verified” abusive messages from that tournament were homophobic, sexual and sexist, according to data from FIFA’s social media protection service.
