Big social media following is no good for footballer Howell

Gabriella Howell

Brit football star Gabriella Howell, 22, does not consider large social media following a good thing. Howell revealed how people post negative comments on social media about her being picked to play football because of her looks. Talking about how she deals with trolls, Howell, who plays for Sutton United, said: "You can be both, you can play football and like wearing high heels."

Revealing the reason she chooses to not delete negative comments: she explained: "I like to keep [the hateful comments] on my profiles and I don't delete them. Young girls think they want to be an influencer but they don't see the downsides. I like to make people aware. You've just got to develop a thick skin."
