2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

It's not a justification it's context for the situation that's happened.

People are asking "Why has this happened?"

These are previous things have happened that will have gone some way to leading to people to believe that what was written in that post was a pop or a dig at them.... Because his family has made pops and digs at the support publicly in the past.

But it's happened because some idiot wanted to threaten his wife and their baby.

Largely encouraged by a minority of fans who have encouraged ludicrous attacks on him. Enough is enough.

It's the "They might not shout it, but we're proud of you" that carries an implication that Evertonians are not proud of Dom's achievements and reads as a sly dig to anyone capable of understanding subtext in search of a sly dig.

“If you didn’t want that to happen you shouldn’t have wore that short skirt” vibes from this

Yeah that's the easy reductive conclusion to draw if you look at everything through a black and white lense and pretend that there's no context or other factors at play in the world.

It's wrong so people shouldn't do it will only get you so far pal.

I understand that, yet its utterly irrelevant. There is nothing she could say on twitter that would justify this behaviour towards her, unless she herself was out there threatening peoples lives. Thats just common sense, yes?

The point was simple.

All players get criticism. It's only Dom's people I can recall of who have stepped into the public sphere and tried to engage fans to defend him from criticism.

His dad has previous for doing it when he got his England cap and I believe I remember his missus getting into disagreements with blues online previously too.

None of this invites or justifies what they were sent but the second you engage with these people you've got a target on your back and because of the previous interactions these mutants were watching for a moment to have a go.

Maybe he struggles more with fan criticism than most, and his family get extra protective.

I mean it begs the question why the need to include "They might not shout it"

Who was that about? Why was it necessary to include it in a post that is just meant to be showing pride in your husband?

Does it change the message a little bit when it's included? Yes or no?

Because if it doesn't then why write it?

Come on people.

Expecting people to behave like normal people not parasocial psychos doesn’t seem unreasonable to me

And again, I'm not trying to justify anything.

I'm just adding the context for why it possibly has happened that people are leaving out.

And that's absolutely fair enough.

The problem is that as soon as you engage and give beauts like this attention then that puts the target on you in their eyes.

But that's what you're doing.

It happened because some idiot thought it was acceptable to send her a death threat.

Nothing to do with DCL, his wife, his family or anytging else. To suggest otherwise is to minimise the behaviour.

You're going to be let down a lot by the real world then

Did he send the death threat unprompted or was it in response to a post they saw?

Unprompted obviously. As I don't think you can prompted into threatening to run over a woman or baby really.

Weird post.

Obviously nobody rational is going to read it and react like that catcher.

Jeffrey Dahmer thought cannibalism and necrophelia were rational ideas...welcome to the internet where you have the Bat-line to special individuals like this, which everybody and nobody seems to understand. People...we're great.
