I think what these guys have to realise, not just him, but everybody in the industry can absolutely have an opinion and if you don&#8217;t like me as a pundit, that&#8217;s fine. But having those types of opinions allows other people to jump on the bandwagon and it&#8217;s disgusting.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou can\u2019t underestimate the effect on the mental health of people like Eni and Lucy. I think it&#8217;s a disgrace and it&#8217;s not nice to say the least and unfortunately these sorts of opinions and people are not going to go away and they exist. And what&#8217;s worse? That they exist openly or is it better that they keep their mouth shut? I&#8217;m not sure. It&#8217;s just the online stuff and people hiding behind the keyboard. It&#8217;s easy given your opinion in the pub, but you get in front of the TV and the lights go on and it&#8217;s live and for some people it&#8217;s game over.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rishi Sunak is just paying lip service when it comes to abuse of female pundits<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asked whether she believes Rishi Sunak actually cares about stamping down on online abuse, Lianne Sanderson is sceptical about the Prime Minister\u2019s motives but praised her employers for the support she receives;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lianne Sanderson:<\/b><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cMe personally, I feel like I think it&#8217;s just words and lip service if I&#8217;m being honest. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;People can kind of say \u2018we&#8217;re supporting you\u2019 but I&#8217;ve never heard from Rishi Sunak and I&#8217;m sure a lot of my fellow female pundits never have either. But at the same time I&#8217;m just really blessed that I get the support that I do from the companies that I work with. So at TalkSPORT or at SKY, whenever I get that online abuse, which is horrible, I get that support. But what I will say is that it is nice when you do get people in the public eye speaking out who genuinely care about us because that helps.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>My Mum Deleted &#8216;X&#8217; After Receiving Homophobic Hate About Her Daughter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sanderson reveals how online abuse has impacted her own family, including her fiance &amp; mother;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lianne Sanderson:\u00a0<\/strong><em>\u201cI tick all the wrong boxes for some people and that\u2019s too much for them to take. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I do think those people genuinely want to make change. <\/em><em>I just don\u2019t think they know how to. But all I can say is the support that I do receive from the companies is good. Don\u2019t forget my family get messages and people have even messaged my fiance not-so-nice things about me. So there\u2019s levels to this that people won\u2019t really understand and my mum doesn\u2019t even have Twitter anymore. She never even used to tweet which she used to want to see what I was doing but people were just saying these horrific things about her daughter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><b>Nike blundered with alteration St. George\u2019s Cross<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Controversy erupted after US sportswear giant Nike revealed it had altered the traditional England flag on the Three Lions\u2019 latest kit, introducing purple and blue stripes, sparking criticism by the prime minister and Labour leader Keir Starmer;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Lianne Sanderson: <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s one of those things where I get the outrage completely. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know why they wouldn\u2019t just put the St. George&#8217;s flag on the back of the shirt. I have no idea why they even thought that was a good idea. And that comes down to the manufacturer kind of dropping the ball on that one and also someone has to be held accountable for thinking that was a good idea. But then on the other hand, I think it&#8217;s a little bit out of hand and out of control.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFootballers always seem to be held to a different standard. Football is like our religion in England but when Rishi Sunak gets involved it&#8217;s too much for me. Ultimately, there should be a St. George&#8217;s flag on the back of the jersey. The St George&#8217;s flag is a patriotic symbol and playing for your country is such an honour, so don&#8217;t change that. I saw Harvey Elliott put his collar up and everyone was commenting on that and it went viral because they&#8217;re saying that even Harvey Elliot doesn&#8217;t like the back of the shirt.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an exclusive interview with InstantCasinos.com former Lionesses star Lianne Sanderson jumped to the defence of Eni
