Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro was subjected
to despicable sexist chants and taunts by
Manchester United fans during the
Premier League game between the two teams in October, 2014.
The video, which was shot by a
supporter in the ground at Old Trafford showed United supporters chanting
“get your t*** out for the lads” at Carneiro and club officials as they walked along the touchline near the corner of the stadium.
According to the BBC, this season 25 incidents of sexist abuse have
been reported to anti-discrimination
campaign group Kick It Out and equality group Women in Football. Last season, there were two reports.
It’s also reported that Carneiro was
subjected to sexist chants by Manchester City supporters when Chelsea played at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season.
Dr. Carneiro has been employed by
Chelsea since 2009.
