Your coverage of the game EFC last night, took it to a new low.
Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, the Fred and Rose West of football commentary. "
And...
"After receiving a barrage of abuse, he described men who stand up for female commentators as eunuchs and added: “Stand by everything I’ve said on Women commenting and co-comms on the Men’s football.
“Like me talking about Knitting or Netball. Way out of my comfort zone.
“Some of the Men are bad enough!
“We have gone too far. You cannot watch a game now without hearing the nonsense.
“Any man who says otherwise is an absolute fart parcel.”
That said, he is a nobhead, and there'll always be nobheads. It depends on your ability to ignore those nobheads. But to say Eni Aluko was too scared to leave the house is a bit over the top. Anyone from an outsider's view could take that as a bit of an over reaction, to the point where you do think she's a bit pathetic. That's just just seems a way these days to gain the attention and the ammo for any legal issues. But seems to be the norm these days.
Still I'm a firm believer if you've got nothing good to say, then best to say nothing at all.

Apparently, because it was a high profile ex footballer who refused to take down his messages, this encouraged others to pile on due to the phenomenon mentioned earlier. Sheeple went on to make racist, sexist remarks and threatened her family.
Reports to X were ignored by them.
These selfish people are also probably
aware that these days it won't usually be them that carries the can, but the site
owners and their moderators who face sanctions including fines, or even jail time, due to their posts.

However, there are some that are ok as well, I have no idea about Eni Aluko, as I dont recognise the name.
I notice he then got "abuse" (dont know what), but no one seems to mind that ...  |
Nothing wrong with politely/respectfully saying that you don't care for her style of commentating. It's when it becomes insulting, libellous, racist, sexist, threatening etc that crosses the line.
Barton is fully entitled to take action against any abuse against himself if he so wishes.
I think he's a football manager now, so you'd think that his employers would want to do something if this reflects badly on them, brings the club into disrepute etc.
People seem to think that they can do/say anything they want outside of work, but a lot have found out the hard way that this is not the case.
