On Tuesday in the UK the number of people who have signed the petition to ban fans who are found guilty of racism slurs for life from football stadia and matches has successfully surpassed the 650,000 mark.
This comes only days after three English national team players who are manchester united’s Marcus Rashford, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka and would be Manchester United forwad Jadon Sancho were on the receiving end of some disgusting racist comments on their social media pages concurrently after missing their respective penalties in the Uefa Euro 2020 final.
This has also come in the wake of the vandalism of Marcus Rashford’s mural by unknown goons which has since then been repaired and love messages encrypted all over it. The forwad also sent a message on his social media accounts stating that he was proud of his family, friends and fans for standing with him and that he would never apologise for being black.
Boris Johnson the British pm has also been vocal in calling for action from these social media administrators. This comes in the wake of his ignorance after the English team was booed by their own fans for taking the knee before their euro game commenced. A number of former and current players including Manchester United legend and former defender Rio Ferdinand have also showed disgust for these racist comments and callled for action from the concerned parties saying that the current measures are not effective and new ones ought to be put in place.
