As we know, social networks can sometimes be very cruel to their users. If this has been verified many times for football fans, especially a few days ago with a young Kylian Mbappé fan, it is a rarer phenomenon in rugby. The young Alfi, a Welsh child playing rugby, had the bitter experience of it only a few days ago, as his father told on Twitter.
A rugby fan from a very young age and playing on the side of Oakdale in South Wales, Alfi is often photographed by his father who does not hesitate to post his pictures on social networks. Except that one of them aroused the mockery of ill-intentioned people. “I had to delete a message from Facebook because some idiot commented saying my boy was too ‘fat’ to play with the under 12s and that he was not in good health”, lamented Mark Pugsley last Sunday, before explaining the situation of his son: “If only people knew how hard he works to be fit and how low his confidence is. Don’t worry Alfie, I’ll always be your biggest fan.”.
When I read your daddy’s post my heart hurts
A touching message that caused a stir on social networks and appealed to rugby stars, like the player of the France team, Matthew Jalibert. “Alfie, I heard myself being told all my youth that I was too small, too thin, too slender. When I read your dad’s post, my heart aches. Never lose hope. Believe in your dreams. Your dad is your number one fan. I am the second”, he wrote.
