Like honestly, just want to again point something out...
Does that not say it all about your social media consumption. I mean why and how do you even know that?
I note you clapped back at @Red Devil 26 for his comment but he is 100% correct. You're seeing all these articles/headlines/videos because that is what you're looking at.
Bare in mind my point here was never to suggest Rashford isnt abused online. He's the biggest name at United, he'll have the most negative and subsequently the most positive comments. IIRC Ronaldo is the most abused footballer online but also the most with positive comments.
What I've been getting at is what you are consuming. We know how youtube/X etc work. It shows you what you have been going out of your way to look at.
When I'm on Youtube I get lots of stick to football/Overlap/COPA football stories because that is what I look and search for. When I'm on X I get a lot of FPL/Team news/Transfer news traffic because that is what I look at and search for.
If you are finding yourself in a position where you're seeing Joey Barton insult Rashford, seeing that talksport have 19 stories on Rashford and constant negative Rashford posts online it is because YOU are seeking that out. None of this is by accident.
Yes, it is absolutely your own doing. I do genuinely think you should reduce your internet consumption. Look we all know online abuse is wrong but it really isnt worth getting wound up about. If you go down enough rabbit holes you will find people being racially, sexually, religiously abused and then some online. It is what it is. These people won't go away, social media isnt going away and the insistence to give these people such a platform of being listened to is not good. Collating tables of said abuse and repeatedly speaking about it just makes them do it more.
Trust me, the last thing I've been looking for is stories about Rashford. I don't think I've even ever searched his name online other than to get stats figures for performance on google. It's insane to assume I'm seeking out negative rashford posts, when they are unavoidable and find all of them pretty much boring, I heard it all for the last 2-3 seasons, prrashford, Rashford, he's doesn't earn his wage, hes disrespected the fans, he doesn't track back who does he think he is driving and wearing bling etc it's the same crap, it's laughable for you to suggest I seek out reading something I heard a million times before.
Previously you could actually ignore it now it's literally everywhere. All you have to do is type in man utd into youtube and there are non stop rashford feeds all of them questioning his ability, future etc.
Right now look on sky sports there are 4 articles on Rashford on their main page meanwhile Mudryk just failed a drug tests and it barely heard much big noise about it. I guess, Amorim was seeking out negative stories on rashford when the entire presser was filled with journalists asking him questions about rashford and how his team mates would feel impacted?
So if I want to avoid seeing Rashford abuse, I should close down my internet stop looking for united news online, because that will discourage people abusing players, did I get that right?

Is it my fault for listening to the manager's press conference and hearing about Rashford? Should I ignore pressers as well?
