Women in sport are constantly subjected to criticism.
There are continuous reports of sexism against women working in sport - whether it be athletes, referees, players writers, TV presenters or reporters. It's absolutely disgraceful.
Which is why the latest video released by the website Just Not Sports is a harrowing watch. Released with a new hashtag #MorethanMean, the campaign was founded in a bid to stamp out the online harassment of women in sports.
