Lionesses to stop taking the knee in wake of attacks
England have condemned the “online poison” of racist abuse directed at the defender Jess Carter during the European Championship in Switzerland and said they would stop taking a knee before matches because “football needs to find another way to tackle racism”.
Carter received criticism after her performance in England’s defeat against France in their opening game of the tournament and was subsequently shifted from left-back to centre-back. She struggled again during Thursday’s quarter-final victory against Sweden and has now revealed the unacceptable vitriol she has been a victim of while on international duty.
