His girlfriend, Kelsie Scott, published her own message on Instagram in support of saucedo.
“A friendly reminder that athletes are human beings and have real mental health. Absolutely disgusting what so many of you feel comfortable when you have never experienced under the daily pressure they do.
Scott added that she and Saucedo had received even more graphic messages than the one he published. She said that harassment is “most likely” players.
“We have received much more graphic messages than the one he shared that I do not consider it appropriate to share here. Many people have mentioned that these people are probably players, and you have 100% correct,” wrote Scott.

“Each vile message contained reasoning to lose money depending on the game. All I can say, maybe it’s to stop playing money you don’t have to lose.”
Scott continued, stressing that fans’ words can cause harm.
“Hatred has never been tolerated here in any title and it will not be sure that hell is for anyone I love,” she said.
