Jessica Ennis-Hill: I was shocked by the abuse on social media
Olympic champion received rape threats for speaking out
Jessica Ennis-Hill said she was shocked yesterday by the abuse she received on social media for voicing her disapproval of Sheffield United re-signing convicted rapist Ched Evans.
Upon hearing the news that United had accepted a request from the Professional Footballers Association to allow Evans to train with the club following his release from prison, the Olympic heptathlon champion said she would want her name removed from the stand at Bramall Lane.
The 28-year-old then received threatening messages she read on Twitter last month, with one vile user writing that he hoped Evans raped Ennis-Hill.
