The people who took to social media to bully these three players are the lowest of the low. Scumbags. And don’t they make you wonder – does England actually deserve any good when they do not even know how to treat their heroes?
A 19-year old Bukayo Saka steps up to play a role that will gladden the hearts and shape the history of 60-odd million English people if the penalty went in. He misses and becomes a target for bullies
Marcus Rashford, for all he has done, taking on a fight with the government to protect the lives and well-being of children – children, nephews and nieces of some of the racist bigots who have been abusing him, misses a penalty and they take to this cowardly exercise!
But truth be told – Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho – and everyone who is racially targeted in the aftermath of the Euro final are the winners here. We are bigger than the racist bullies, and it is because those players are what the bullies can never be is why they have taken to what they do.
Race hate can not win. The authorities are not doing enough. The mainstream media has turned to TalkShop Centres through which the government, social media companies and authorities come and blab, blab, blab and do nothing. Enough now, is enough. Speak less, act more. This has gone on too long!

Tunde, well said. The courage Bukayo Saka showed in stepping up and taking the penalty deserves admiration and not disdain. The racists and bigots will never win.
Chin up Bukayo and keep going we are proud of you.
i saw this Video and that of an Indian Lady’s Commentaries and Opinions of most others whose Countries were unfortunately Colonized by England 🏴 !
I Personally do not like the English People for a few Reasons that are very Personal to me.
And so i truly understand if you that is a British/Nigerian feels somewhat emotionally after watching the Video.
So in answering your Questions, here are my responses ;
1. Not Applicable.
2. No Respect for them anymore concerning their FAKE “Kneeling Down” postures before the Start of each Match promising to do away with Sports Racism.
3. They should all be Re-Educated that Racism has no place in today’s World.
4. What else would the World do ? Maybe they Should Ban England for upward of 10yrs and No Country should buy the TV Rights of their League till further notice.
5. No Way ! I had the Choice but i opted for the US (which in my view is fairly better) where all My Sons (4) all currently live.
6. The English have that fake feeling they are still the No1 Country & Queensland.
I feel for all those who suffer this Racism of a thing Directly and Indirectly.
I am an avid reader of the content posted on your platform. Keep up the great work👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
Four decades on it is very ironic that some of the underlying causal factors that fuelled my migration to Africa remains domiciled in the underbelly of the British society. Racism in the UK is institutional and runs through the arterial veins of the fabric and ethos of the society. It has been the story since I witnessed on arrival in the UK in 1964.
In terms of the football experience I saw its manifestations back in the day when my late school mate and best friend Laurie Cunningham was subjected to hate and discrimination in his effort to pursue a professional football career. He had to overcome rejection from Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs. Thanks to Leyton Orient where he was able to profile his talents through which his abilities were recognised by Professionals managing clubs in Division One. The rest is history. Laurie however had to contend with the same brand of racism during his time at Real Madrid where the coaching staff contrived to ensure that underwent a tortuous career through injuring him during training.
My brother 41 years in Kenya has given me the opportunity to pursue my dreams without having to deal with the ugly monkey of racism on my back. God bless Africa
For your society it has always been rotten. They are just bloody pretenders.
I will prove that they have been rotten. In 1897, Captain Phillips and his team entered Benin City without permission. It was during Igue festival and the Oba doesn’t receive visitors during that festival. Captain Phillips was warned that he should not disobey the Oba because if he did it will come with dire consequences. The arrogant fool entered Benin against the wish of a great King like the Oba of great Benin Kingdom.
Consequently all of them lost their lives.
You will probably say my people went too far, but image some white boys having no respect for a great Kingdom. The idiots had to pay the supreme sacrifice.
Then the rotten regime of Great Britain sent a strong army, they killed, raped and burned down were built palace that had envied and the entire city.
Consequently stole THOUSANDS of Awesome art works which has given UK billions of Dollars. See why they are rotten. Why did they loot our heritage when it was a case of murder. Thieves, stupid thieves.
The British are still stealing from us and ofcourse the whole of Europe stealing from Africa.
