Newark, NJ - NWSL player Sharon Engals stated that she has set a new record of going almost 24 hours without an unbidden and inappropriate Direct Message or completely toxic comment sent to her Instagram account.
“It’s a modern day miracle,” stated Engals to The Nutmeg News. “I’ve gotten so used to the terrible messages, photos, harassment and pick up attempts being sent to my DMs and comments that I realized I made it to 23 hours before a man sent me a long winded diatribe regarding me not going keto to my DMs.”
According toe friends, Engals posts pictures from training, her life and adventures to her Instagram account on a regular basis as she updates fans with stories, videos and curated shots.
“She’s a great follow,” stated soccer fan Angela Hughes. “And for an outspoken player her comments only turn toxic every once in a while.”
For her part, Engals says that she’s become numb to the abuse, suggestions and inappropriate comments sent to her as she stated, “that’s exactly why I didn’t even notice when it had been this long. It was crazy to me because I realized that I didn’t dread the notifications icon.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Engals receives a number of enormously toxic replies on a story she posts about the importance of voting.
