Thanks will have a watch later

You’re very welcome. I found the interviews with her parents very impactful and I completely empathise with their sorrow, worry and grief.

Payton herself is a very impressive young women who is taking what was done to her and trying to make sure it doesn’t happen to any other girls/women.

Thank you, for me one of the worst bits was the man who caused her injuries sending her a message saying how he lives 'rent free' in her brain 😡, no sympathy or other acknowledgement of his actions

@Pudmyboy I cannot get over someone doing that to a person they've injured so badly - it's sociopathic behaviour!

This makes me so fucking angry.
And the response from that male player is disgusting.
One thing that keeps me going is that little by little we are winning this. Every day someone else admits that the emperor has no clothes on.

@kiterunning I agree, things like this make me so bloody angry on behalf of girls and women having to suffer injuries and unfairness like Payton has.

The player who caused her injury really must not see women as human beings deserving of empathy. If he did see us that way he wouldn’t be able to bring himself to play on a women’s volleyball team because he’d be worried about taking a female player’s place or he’d worry about causing an injury or, on a very basic level, he’d recognise he’s cheating.
