Chelsea Football Club has publicly condemned the homophobic abuse directed at striker Sam Kerr following the announcement that she and her partner, West Ham's Kristie Mewis, are expecting a baby. The club's captain, Millie Bright, along with manager Sonia Bompastor, expressed their strong disapproval of the "unacceptable and hateful" messages that emerged after the couple shared photos showcasing Mewis's baby bump. In response to the backlash, Chelsea issued a statement highlighting the need for respect and support, emphasizing that such negativity should not be tolerated. The comments section on Kerr's post had to be disabled due to the offensive remarks. Bompastor described the reactions as "crazy," reinforcing the club's commitment to standing against discrimination and promoting a positive environment for all players.
