I Hope Your Son Gets Coronavirus – Troy Deeney Reveals Abuse
Posted by E.L.E.X on May 28 2020 under Sports
Troy Deeney has spoken about the abuse he and his family have suffered after he expressed concerns about the safety of the return of the Premier League.
The Watford captain recently said he felt questions about coronavirus safety had not been adequately answered, particularly those around increased illness rates among black and minority ethnic (BAME) people.
Deeney hasn’t yet returned to training but is reportedly expected to link up with his team-mates next week, with clubs having approved the return of full-contact sessions.
The 31-year-old says people have had little sympathy for footballers set to be returning to an environment where plenty have admitted they may not feel fully safe.
“I saw some comments in regards to my son, people saying: ‘I hope your son gets corona’,” Deeney told CNN.
“That’s the hard part for me. If you respond to that, people then go: ‘Ah, we’ve got him’ and they keep doing it.
“In a time where it’s all about mental health and everyone says ‘speak up, speak out, please speak’, Danny Rose spoke out and I spoke out and we just get absolutely hammered and battered for it.
“So, people see that and go ‘woah’ and it’s not just us that gets it, the missus gets direct messages and you’ll be walking down the street and people will be like: ‘Oh, I’m at work, you go back to work’.”
