England defender Tyrone Mings hits out at Home Secretary Priti Patel after players subject to racist abuse

"You don't get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as 'Gesture Politics' & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we're campaigning against, happens," the defender wrote on Twitter.

Three England players - Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka - were subjected to racist abuse on social media in the wake of missing spot kicks in theYou don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

There is no room for any racism, so while footballers point the fingers at MP’s why don’t come out against players? His own coach John Terry was accused of racism, so why not speak out against him?

The racism we see is years of poor policy coming to ahead. The Gov need to stop blaming social media companies and look closer to home. We need tougher laws for social media accounts and tough sentences. As a nation we are on a slippery slope down! Fix it or resign Conservatives

Will mings refuse to play in the Qatar world cup , considering the brutal nature of the countys racist human rights issues ?....nah of course he will, hes full of it.

How is this breaking news 🤣 The woke media is soaking this up huh.

Utter drivel from Mings. The people who practise this online abuse aren't intelligent enough to even know who Priti Patel is. Criticising taking the knee to a Marxist organisation (yes, that's what they're doing whether they recognise it or not) was correct.

Did he call out Corbyn?

She is the worse! I think Priti Patel is the worse thing ever happened to UK! It’s rather unfortunate

Football racism predates Priti Patel. Identifying yourself with BLM which is an anti white and anti capitalism is not about combatting racism but fuelling it. Mings should know better. Tell him to talk to UEFA and the FA.

Trust me people most of these tweets are fake and done by leftwing extreme activists who have used the football to further their on agenda…most racist incidents in America Lila graffiti in colleges and schools to people faking racist attacks are all instigated by left nutters

All getting a bit silly now - politicians in sport and sportsman in politics - oh how wish football belonged to the people and the back pages.

tamcohen So footballers are allowed to make mistakes - but politicians aren't?

Taking the knee dates back to at least 1960’s. It was coopted by BLM in same way as St George Flag and Union Flag were coopted by Neo-fascists.

Priti Patel’s family know the true face of racism, whe they and thousands if othets were kicked out of Uganda by the African tyrant Idi Amin. Racism occurs in all countries by all colours and races and tribes.

England lost. Deal with it instead of all the WOKE rubbish and BLM BS.

Who? He'll complain it was her fault he didn't start a game next, ffs. Grow up, what had happened would have happened no matter who was in government

People have the right to boo the knee gesture. Priti is correct. Mings should concentrate on being a better player.

This is why I’m over the moon England lost 😊

Good work Tyrone

The man is a solider I congratulate him big time

Good for him. And hopefully the rest will join him.

Well done Tyrone. But in fairness lots of people have been upset about this and about being lied too and fobbed off with lame duck rhetoric from her and the rest of Parliament. They are all narcissistic.

Good for him!

Why Did she send some?🤦🏻‍♂️

Good for him.

Sort or own house first before pointing the finger at others.

it wouldn`t make any difference if the penalty`s had been missed by people called 'Beckham, Rooney, Giggs' they would have received the same abuse. Man up oh! sorry person up.

We said OfficialTM_3 👏👏
