“I never usually read social media comments, or let them affect me,” she wrote. “However I just wanted to say that no one should be ashamed or self-conscious to have muscles. It shows dedication and hard work. I love my muscles.” The club said the trolls’ comments were “belittling” and that there was no room for such attitudes in the game.
“That’s not to mention the widespread work she does in the community, and the inspiration she gives to young athletes, both boys and girls. Surely our society has moved beyond athletes and role models like Julia being belittled for a photo that showcases everything that is great about our sport.”
