The verbal abuse of soccer players due to their skin color, is nothing new. For example; five months ago, Rashford got severe racial abuse post Arsenal game, in January.

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12204028/marcus-rashford-man-utd-striker-receives-racist-abuse-following-draw-with-arsenal

"Marcus Rashford becomes the third Manchester United player this week to be subjected to racial abuse on social media after Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial were targeted following the defeat to Sheffield United on Wednesday"

But after last week, the abuse got global attention. Why did it take so long? Honestly, England should have made a statement a long time ago.

It's been happening for so long.
Look what Balotelli and Lukaku had to deal with playing in Serie A.
Clubs have been banned from hosting fans at games cause of racist fans.

Sami Khedira said it best.
"I'm a German when we win, and a Turk when we lose."

Not that long ago that some Serie A fans were throwing bananas on the field

People have been complaining about this for years. It just overt racism is acceptable in Europe.

If it were acceptable, people wouldn't be complaining. Yet people of all races and ages are complaining.
Not to mention that Europe isn't a single hivemind culture like some Americans pretend.

European racism happened naturally over time. American racism was planned and deliberate. but America is still the child of Europe.

Same reason people suddenly started caring about Cuba mistreating their people. People are starting to care now.

You aren't even really reading my posts; you're just staring at your e-mail client and fondly reminiscing about that hobo you stabbed to death. :P
