Bunny Shaw: Man City Women reports racist and misogynistic abuse directed toward the attacker to the police | Football news
Manchester City women reported on abuse directed toward Khadia ‘Bunny’ Shaw after defeat for the Women’s Super League against Arsenal from the police.
City promised to fully support the player because of the “disgusting treatment”, which she received after losing 4-3 from Gunner at Joie Stadium.
Shaw, who scored 86 goals for the club, scored her 100th city performance when she left the bench in the 66th minute of the competition in what was just a second trip from the injury in early December.
In a statement published by the club, City said: “Manchester City was appalled when he learned that Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw was subjected to racist and misogynistic abuse after Sunday’s consolidation.
“Discrimination of any kind, whether on stadiums or online, will not be tolerated and absolutely no place inside or outside the game.
“Bunny decided not to share the messages publicly so that he would not give oxygen of publicity to the terrible individuals who sent them.
“The content is divided with the authorities. The investigation will follow, and the club offers our full support Bunny after the disgusting treatment she received.”
