On Tuesday, the Adran Leagues issued a statement condemning “sexist and misogynistic comments” made on social media in the wake of the game.
Former Canada international, 43, Wilkinson says it is “heartbreaking” that such abuse continues.
“I was very sad and heartbroken for those women who made history and then had to deal with that kind of immaturity, insecurity and just imbecile behaviour really,” she mentioned.
“I think that that’s what social media does, it gives a platform to people that don’t need to speak. That is the nicest way I can put it.”
