It’s violent, graphic images that will send you to a therapist. It’s public record searches to see what they can figure out about where I live or what school district my kids are in. I don’t know that people necessarily know what we’re talking about when we say “online harassment.” Like, “Your opinion is stupid” - I don’t care about that. Why was it important to you to detail it so explicitly? The online harassment you’ve faced is not just mean. A lot of times we look at the women we see on TV or hear on the radio, and we think, “I bet nobody messes with that person - look at her walking in there like a boss.” What I found out is that it doesn’t matter. I put out a call on Twitter that was like, “Hey, if you’ve been harassed or if you’ve had #MeToo experiences and you work in sports media …” The number of higher-profile women who reached out to me was surprising. It’s a great group, and it’s the least they deserve.Sidelined is both a memoir and a reported look at the mistreatment of women in sports media - from fans, coworkers, and athletes. Hopefully, we can pack Eppleton out and give the players our all. Mel has always found a way of making us look strong and competitive. Mel Reay has had to put up with a lot of injuries this season, with the most recent being Liz Ejupi, but hopefully that’s nothing too serious. Sunderland have a run of home games coming up and will be looking to make that count against sides that are in and around us at the bottom. Since then, they lost to Palace and have changed managers so we will need to watch out for the new manager bounce.Ĭourtney Sweetman Kirk is still a striker to take very seriously so our defence will need to be careful, but I feel our attacking players will enjoy themselves against the opposition and look to put distance between us and Sheff Utd. They looked to be getting sucked right into a relegation battle, then got a very impressive win over London City a few weeks ago.

The seventeen-year-old will surely be a name to watch out for in the future and is playing with belief that defies her years. Katy Watson has started the last two games and had showed her ability and pace that will scare sides. Personally, I don’t see us making any changes to the side unless of injuries. Sunderland take on Sheffield United today, knowing a victory would all but ensure Championship football again next season.Īfter last week's victory over bottom-placed Coventry, we go into this game full of confidence and able to play without fear.
