Veteran Australia pacer Schutt sheds light on the strange side of cricket
DUBAI: In recent years, social media has proven to be a tool for women's cricket. Not just from a fan engagement perspective, but the athletes' stories have been given a huge platform and there's no denying that. Just one look at the ever-increasing engagement figures that the International Cricket Council publishes after each women's tournament is proof of that.
However, there is a darker side of social media that has affected fans and athletes alike, especially queer athletes. Australian gangster Megan Schutt is one of those players.
The 31-year-old is a proud openly queer player and has faced inappropriate comments about her sexuality on social media. She strongly believes in her thoughts and has never shied away from expressing her opinions, but these days she has decided to choose who she answers to. First of all, I don't call them all, Schutt said daily.
The ones that I feel like are just trying to poke the bear. I don't hang out with them. They only use derogatory comments because they can. Sometimes I feel like it could be in an uneducated way and then I'll probably respond more because I feel like if we can have a civil conversation about something or start a conversation and change someone's mindset, then that's it moment is when things can change, she added.
Schutt is not the only queer athlete at the ongoing T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. England's Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, New Zealand's Lea Tahuhu and Scotland's Abbi Aitken-Drummond are some of this edition's openly gay players. Most of them have faced similar harassment on social media, but Schutt has been the most vocal. Sometimes it's even as simple as saying: what's your problem? And then they'll reveal it and then realize it's not really a problem and that it can lead to a decent discussion, Schutt said.
I feel like there's a great educational piece that's available to people and that's part of having a platform, but at the same time, people need to learn when something is wrong. And that's when I call them and. Of course, I let those who are floating in between slide, but every now and then some people need to be put in their place, she added.
