are people really coming out and crying about him getting stick on social media?? I’d understand if he was getting abuse at the ground, which largely he doesn’t, the media are still giving him the benefit of the doubt, and if anything it’s opposition fans who are goading him the most. If the only place these people are upset about is fans on social media then they need to get into the 21st century. Like it or not SM is a cesspit for every public figure, every idea, every political talking point.
people are saying beckham didn’t get this level of abuse are plain wrong, he got it, not from keyboard warriors but actually in his face. I remember the banners and chants, including those at England games ffs. I remember the effigies oilutside grounds, when England wee on the road, the people saying he hoped his kids died of cancer, all sorts of horrendous stuff.
If maguire wants to avoid most of the vitriol as far as I can tell he just needs to stay away from SM. Most of the boos I have heard about were on preseason away games?
Do I think he deserves all the nastiness, not really, but it’s not like he has to encounter much of it.
