Jess Carter: England defender steps back from social media after racist abuse, team condemns ‘online poison’

England's Jess Carter and teammate Lotte Wubben-Moy have quit social media due to racist abuse received since the start of the Women's Euros. Carter, a key player in England's semi-final run, stated that while she appreciates fan opinions, racist attacks are unacceptable. The England team issued a statement condemning the abuse, vowing solidarity, and standing instead of kneeling before their match. The FA is working with police, while the UK Prime Minister expressed support.
