It's sad how this stuff has a noble ring to it until they lose and then it's just drunk fighting and racism, every time

If it's about the racist stuff then like, it exists in soccer in general.
soccer culture is the problem.
Look at rugby or cricket compared to the fans in soccer

Yes, but several levels about just "racist stuff"

Mass harassment of the three guys who missed the penalties on any and all social media presence (resulting in several losing their jobs as a result, pending their jobs investigating them at least) attacks on random black people, defacing memorial dedicated to Marcus.

And only hours after praising the same people as the best of the best.

I'm glad some of the footballers are calling Patel and Boris out on fanning the flames of this, after they "condemned it" - as they refused to condemn the atrocious behaviour before and didn't support the basic fucking act of kneeling.

Yup. One moment whatever none white footballer it is, is their best mate they'd buy a drink for, the next moment he's a whole torrent of racial slurs who should be shipped out the country or lynched.

Yup. The Tory government, and Patel in particular, has been called out by several charities for using the exact same rhetoric and causing the same results.

I wonder how many of these fucking racist louts enjoyed the benefits of Marcus Rashford literally forcing the government to feed poor children when schools were closed during the pandemic. A lot, I would imagine.

I would feel pretty comfortable betting whoever defaced his memorial in Manchester directly benefited from this.

These people are all gonna be the racist villains in the future documentary about all of this and yet they'll still swear up and down that they're not racist and racism is dead/overblown.

Please don't leak the government strategy on handling this early. Some of us like to spread out our bitter hatred and disappointment.

Happens after every bloody game these days. Yesterday wasn't a one-off, sad to say. It'll happen after the next game too - to whomever it is that has a sub-par game or makes an obvious mistake. Nothing's gonna change :/

I've also a feeling that a large portion of the comments are made by kids who have seen the reactions garnered from previous ones and think it's hysterical to do the same themselves, without understanding why it's wrong or realising how badly this inhibits any type of progress.

The older I get, the more and more I believe that social media is up there with the worst of Mankind's inventions/creations. Rather glad it wasn't a thing when I was young.

It's sick how it is

Seeing all the lovely messages for Marcus' memorial and efforts to repair the harm has restored a little of my faith.

Not much, but a little.

Racist football fans.
TERFs and transphobes everywhere.
Flag-shagging gammons.
The rural population obsessed with keeping the Tory's in power against their best interests.
A Home Office dedicated to deporting people who've lived here for decades.
A Prime Minister who has openly homophobic, Islamophobic and sexist views.

Yup, England is in a bad place. And we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Rule Bloody Britannia.

Proof that football is like a religious cult for people who are even stupider than people who actually join religious cults. It's not life or death, and your entire sense of national self-worth should not hinge solely upon 11 guys kicking a bit of leather around a bit of fucking grass. Have better reasons to feel proud of your country.
