Borja Iglesias and Celta Vigo
Monday
Celta Vigo striker Borja Iglesias has revealed repeated social-media insults and threats linked to his political and humanitarian positions. One message called the Spain international a rat and said he should have been killed over his public comments and silence.
Iglesias shared the message and said this abuse happens throughout each day. The World Cup winner has previously supported Palestine and spoken on social issues, making him a frequent target of hostile online campaigns and personal attacks.
