Black and Asian fans 'so proud' of Southgate's England football team

Binta says in the past she's not wanted to wave the England flag, because of its negative connotations.

Some 28% of white 18-24s and 25% of ethnic minority 18-24s say they see the flag as a negative symbol of nationalism, even during sporting tournaments,But Binta says the current England squad have helped change how she feels.Cameron Cole, 27, says the "disgusting" abuse of Saka, Sancho and Rashford shows there is "still a very long way to go" to tackle racism in football.

"I've had experiences before where I've had to speak out about it and seeing these stars do the same thing, it qualifies me more to do it in any circumstance, in employment or anywhere else," he tells Newsbeat.

irresponsible headlines and content, misleading and stirring up the situation...

Amen and Amen

Meh, I've seen lots better.

So are white fans

Why are you making it a Race thing. We are All proud of England and who ever puts on that shirt BBC

If you keep grouping people in to colours then we will never succeed. We are all equal. Stop drawing lines and dividing us up.

* EVERYONE IS

Excuse me but it isn’t only black and Asian fans who are proud of Southgate and his team. Some of us happen to be white. Typical stirring from the bbc as usual.

Speaking as a person of colour myself. People are very quick to point out hatredat England players calling it racism but ever wonder why so few non-native players in other EU teams even Italy. Not condoning hatred but don't underestimate what the UK has achieved in equality.

Oh now the media is trying to spin the story? If I can recall this is not the first time something like this as happened with European football teams where black players are called names and racist remarks are made toward them.

The creator of the johnsonvariant has been crushed by a rock:

Is this anti racism BBC? Wtf - ShameOnYou I’m proud of the team, supported them and think they were brilliant. Disgraceful reporting again -

Not just Blacks and Asians who are proud of this team.. media many need to look at themselves as they are also part of the problem along with those in places of power using this as a means to cause trouble.

I'm white and proud, the players were fine and stood up, it was the management that let the team down in the final. BBC, shite as usual.

Just wondering, has there ever been an Asian/southasian player on the England Football Team? There are plenty who feature in cricket but never in football. Anyone play at the club level? Interesting how backgrounds do influence the sports youngsters pick up. Am I wrong?

Can you imagine the outcry if the headline stated 'White' fans...😡 By the way I am white and bloody proud of all the players the team were amazing ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💙

BBC’s agenda is DIVISION

Any people of Northern European descent proud of Engand then.... no, just black & Asian fans then

BBC throwing all white people under the bus again lul

White fans who aren't scummy racists are proud of them too!

How many teams in the European didnt actually have a single black player in the team or squad.. England did and they did us proud 👍

This headline is nothing but irresponsible.

Guessing the white fans no longer count MSM peddling the divide yet again DefundTheBBC
