- Owen: ‘This happens too often to too many people’
- Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling ‘distraught’ by abuse
Michelle Owen has shared some of the abuse she received online over her reporting for Sky’s Soccer Saturday, and called on social media companies to take stronger action.
Owen reposted a number of the abusive messages on Twitter, in which she was told she “couldn’t do what she’s paid to do”, was called a “stupid bitch” and branded “another useless woman football reporter”. Other messages called her “clueless”, and one told she was an “absolute disgrace as a so-called mother”.
