Spiked Online editor Brendan O’Neill said that although the racism that some English football players endured after losing to Italy in the Euro 2020 final was “absolutely despicable”, it was also “exaggerated.”
Prior to this, England suffered heavy losses in the Euro 2020 final due to a penalty loss to Italy. Angry fans left racist abuse on the social media profiles of players who failed to score.
Because Marcus Rashford’s Manchester mural was slandered, disappointed fans made a lot of abuse on the team’s black players both online and offline.
“There is a real difference between the amount of information given to these players and the public discussion about it,” Mr. O’Neill told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“It has become this terrible moment, which shows how racist the whole of England is. I think this is too much.
“We have to look at this in perspective. The vast majority of fans in this country are decent people and they despise racism.”
