Female football fans have hit back at Eni Aluko after her shock claim that UK stadiums were ‘not safe for women’.
The ITV pundit made the comments on Wednesday and said it was not safe ‘physically’ for female supporters who travelled to stadiums nor online and suggested the next generation of women may be deterred from getting involved in the game as a result.
Aluko has been in the headlines over the last few months after receiving a torrent of abuse from Joey Barton, who targeted her with vile sexist comments – claiming that she and fellow broadcaster Lucy Ward were the ‘Fred and Rose West of football commentary’.
Barton also bizarrely alleged that Aluko and her family used ‘dodgy money’ to pay for a lavish lifestyle – with the pundit later admitting she was ‘genuinely scared’ for her safety before confirming she had taken legal action against him.
Aluko then savaged social media firms for allowing trolls to ‘vomit their hatred unchecked’ online and she was vocal again this week after making the surprising claim about stadiums.
