Lionesses Quit Social Media After Racist Abuse

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. Fellow Lioness Lucy Bronze highlighted a concerning trend of increased online abuse alongside the sport's growing popularity.
