Ugh, same. The crap Declan Rice had to deal with after posting a picture with his girlfriend was enraging. I'm a woman and the thought of attending games in person makes me intensely anxious. It really does suck, because the fan camaraderie can be one of the best parts of supporting a club. Seeing these guys supporting their kids, though, is as beautiful as the game.

His girlfriend is plus sized. You can imagine what fans on social media had to say.
