Why did the British public make fun of Rebecca Adlington?

[Billy]

They harrassed her on Twitter to the point where she wouldn't even read her twitter messages. Are Brits that cruel that they harrass their Olympic stars just because of how they look? Wouldn't they want to cheer her on?

[Peter]

No one hates her now cus she's got medals

[James]

Unfortunately, the Internet is full of disgusting trolls who feel the need to make fun of everything. Becky Adlington is a very inspirational person.

[PINK DONUT]

yes, brits are bloody wankers

[LillyB]

There are idiots in every nation and how can you possibly know the nationality of people on Twitter. Rebecca Adlington is a national hero and I don't know anybody who wasn't right behind her supporting her to win gold. She did her best and is admired and respected by most people.

she's that annoying friday girl isn't she? that's y.

[Julia]

they are fools

[alone and confused]

Of course they cheer her on. It's a minority of brainwashed idiots who think everything has to be about looks. She's an athlete at the olympics not a model at a beauty pageant. In my opinion I think she's quite attractive and her talent and personality make her even more so.

[conor]

attractive lol

stick to being alonr and confused

cause u thats what u will be all ur life if u think she is nice lol

You were on here the other day saying all British female athletes looked like they'd had a sex change. The Internet is full of sad tw@ts like you that hide behind their computer to spout their vitriol because they haven't the balls to say it someone face (and can't get a girlfriend).
