The England striker Alicia Rousseau says she prefers to stay away from social media during the main tournaments because of the “destructive” mistreatment.
The 26 -year -old was talking about the case alongside her Lioneses teams as they were preparing to defend the European Championship in Switzerland next month.
Their comments come after Katie Polater spoke to British women to the BBC Sport about the abuse and death threats she received online,
Manchester United midfielder Grace Clinton 22 says she will try to move away from social media to avoid a “toxic environment” while Chelsea striker Lauren James said that “abuse never stops.”
“I think every player may have a different story from this aspect of the game, but it is definitely a story that can be really harmful,” said Rosso striker Arsu, 26.
“I have faced it in the past and I think most of the players are here.
“I have read it more than I have to have and listen to it more than I have to have. The only opinions of my teammates, my coach and my family.
“At the beginning of the euro, I was on social media, and I will take a look, and I have passed, and I sometimes fell into a trap.
“When going to the World Cup, I got out completely out of everything and I had people to run my Instagram. I just focused on the tournament.
“It is a personal preference and anything that works for the team. Stay away from it and the survival focuses as a team that suits me.”
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, James discussed the abuse she received, saying: “Sometimes it is not about my performance, even when someone loses in FIFA [EA Sports FC video game]My card against them and send me ill -treatment.
“I think when it is your first time, you might touch someone, but I am used to that, I will only clean it from my shoulder.”
Chelsea midfielder Keira Walsh 5 Live told her that she no longer used social media, while club teammate Lucy Bronze added: “People write terrible things and it is clear that our families are also reading them and it may be annoying if you see something very unpleasant.
“Social media is amazing in a way or in another way in another way. I think most of us have stopped at some point.”
Manchester United midfielder Ella Ton said that although she will continue to use Instagram during the tournament, she will respect the decision of any teammate who decides to stay away from social media while they are in Switzerland.
“I know that others are stopping their phones. We have that conversation and we all know how each other wants to go to the tournament,” she said.
“If you see something on Instagram, I will not tell someone or spoil him to the team because they don't want to see it. I think it is a personal preference.”
After having an online abuse as a young player, everyone and Russo want to help the younger players in the team to deal with it.
Top added: “I think that from my experience and Erya have gone through it in the past, we have always been the people who want to make sure that the smaller or least experienced players in the team feel comfortable and feel well,” Top added.
“We have such a talented team. We have bags of talents that come to their first championship, so we want to make sure that they are comfortable and feel confident within themselves.”
