Racism In Sports: FA and England Leadership Condemn Online Trolls In Statement

We’re disgusted that some of our squad – who have given everything for the shirt this summer – have been subjected to discriminatory abuse online after tonight’s game.

We stand with our players ❤️ https://t.co/1Ce48XRHEl

A nation that has to tell its fans not to racially abuse its players because they lost a football game isn't one to be proud of. The 'togetherness' created was only ever going to last as long as they kept winning. We have serious problems in this country.

The FA has released a statement condemning the racist abuse England players have received on social after losing the final of Euro 2020.

The FA is “appalled” by the online racism aimed at England players.

UPDATE**

We got an opportunity to chat with a Black female fan from Trinidad & Tobago on what she feels about watching players take hatred for being heroic.

I heard England lost the EUROS. This is disgusting with the racist attacks on the nonwhite players of that soccer team. People need to be better than this regardless if a team wins or loses. Let’s hope this crap doesn’t happen again at the Olympics.
