Overview
- Cristina Llorens, Sergio Canales’s wife, posted Instagram stories showing a user threatening to kill her, her husband and their children.
- The threats, which explicitly named the couple’s children, follow recent death messages sent to referee Katia Itzel García after a Leagues Cup match.
- The Mexican Football Federation and Comisión de Árbitros have filed a formal complaint and reinforced protective protocols for referees and their families.
- Major League Baseball has maintained 24/7 security for Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and his family since May threats from an intoxicated gambler.
- Advocates warn that harassment of women in sports, including cases forcing Selene Cortés and Scarlett Camberos to leave the country, signals a growing normalization of fan-driven violence.
