The Football Association has condemned racist abuse aimed at England players Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka after Sunday's Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy.
"We will do all we can to support the players affected while urging the toughest punishments possible for anyone responsible. "Social media companies need to step up and take accountability and action to ban abusers from their platforms, gather evidence that can lead to prosecution and support making their platforms free from this type of abhorrent abuse."
You are better than anyone who dishes out abuse of any kind, it is a reflection of their vile minds and life rise above it and be the talented young men that you are.
I genuinely don't understand racism, what do you gain from discriminating someone who's skin/culture/religion is different from yours The same can be said for any discrimination of any kind. What do you gain from it? Nothing. So pack it in.
正常發揮不是嗎 醜陋的盎格魯撒克遜人
It's a very sad world when as soon as they missed there penalties I knew this would be the kind of headline I'd see in the morning, I can't imagine the pressure they were under in that situation but regardless the whole team did the nation proud
Rashford, Sancho and Saka, you 3 are young. Pull up your socks and win next year World Cup. It will shame the abusers
The entire world is proud of you Guys. You guys are young and talented, please continued to play and enjoy football. Success will come 1 days. At least you guys have achieved the unachievable for 55 years. Ignore the haters, Trophies will soon come
Sad
I'm so sad that these incredible young men are being abused. They have done themselves and the country proud on and off the pitch.
These lads did fantastic... Its the fans people need to talk about today discussing behaviour.. How embarrassing..
It is now time all social media accounts were traceable, if companies will not supply names and addresses for all accounts, if requested by all law enforcement agencies, they should be shut down.
I feel for these lads, so much on their shoulders and people have turned them from hero’s into villains, they played better and Italy has nothing to be proud of they won on default, I’m proud of our lads 🏴👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why are people picking on Saka, Rash & Sancho? Southgate is the one to blame, he changed to a back 5 when back 4 had not conceded, played 3 4 2 1 without wingers when wingers is what got them to finals, sat back to defend lead when the high press was best defense. Blame Southgate
Shocked, not shocked.
England team players are all heroes , but fans behavior has been disgusting ...
So maybe finally the country can pull together against such vile and dangerous behaviour. Let's aim high to improve football as a whole, fans included.
Hopefully they don’t look at the idiots who write that crap. For every stupid idiot there is 100k fans who love you for what you brought to the nation this tournament. Absolutely awesome lads. I can’t wait for the WC. Stay strong and know the your countrymen are with you ✌️
100%. All of the England players can hold their heads up high ❤️
It looked like the coach chose the three penalty shooters solely on the account of their race, they were not in the match and the last shooter was extremely inexperienced. So who's the real racist? Who chooses shooters based on their race?
Racist abuse is normal in England . Even the Royal family is racist. Italy save the ears of the world yesterday.🤡🤡
A game of football and once again the fans let England down.yobs in the street attacking people. Players been abused who gave their all for their country. Just so very sad for real fans and English people who suffer because of this reputation of a few horrible people.
It’s amazing the COLOUR of their skin is the main criteria why they missed the penalties…whilst the the two WHITE Italians that missed, their colour no mention whatsoever🤔
englishfans lowest of the low they are the reason the world Cup tournament will never be played in England👎👎👎
Millions have access to twitter including those who live outside England. Should we get grip of reality. You can't ban the iron rod
Aside from condemning what is the FA going to do about it. We know the racists, we have the footage. What is going to be done!!!
Only way to deal with online trolls is if broadband and phone companies get on board too and actually ban prolific abusers from having a connection in the first place.
Common sense
And this is why England deserves to lose. The country is a disgrace.
BBCWorld So racism is coming home?
No mention of booing during Italian anthem?
Prison sentences for those spewing this hatred and racism, end of!
If I remember rightly gareth Southgate and Stuart pierce recieved abuse over missed penalties. Myself i think any abuse is discusting. And if not careful English fans will we banned from every game
Needs to be stamped out all this racism the players did us proud 👏 xxx
Most people knew this was going to happen as soon as the match ended. And people wonder why they take the knee?
Is condemning it in press the only thing that can be done to stop this shit? NO!!!...The FA need to take more action against racism
It's funny that white people in Eurooe get blown to bits at a concert, head hacked off or run over by a speeding truck but hey. Hurty words on the internet is the top news...
It is true that nobody has right to abuse anybody but at the same time standards should not be compromised in the name of diversity and inclusion.
ENGLAND 🏴 SAY NO TO RACISM,WE ARE ONE PEOPLE BUT DIFFERENT COLORS I STAND WITH RASHFORD,SANCHOAND SAKA MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT ✊ BROTHERS
RealBristolNews Because 'Government incite nationalists and act falsely surprised at the results' is too close to the truth for you?
That's exactly why they are taking the knee and why they will continue to do so.
Comdemnation from the FA sounds ok, but what are the police actually doing about it
It amazes me that when you try to post about suicide on social media for instance, a barrage of links and phone numbers pop up to help you, but when someone tries to post any racist words or emojis, nothing happens. Surely with all the ML, they can prevent people from posting?
/ That’s the Nazism that Football gives life to in the Supporters !!!
Disgusting
England fans are the biggest let downs. Carry thenselves like wild animals with no morals.
The people racially abusing MarcusRashford were probably some of the people whose children/grandchildren or other relative he fought so hard to get food for during this pandemic, I'm not at all a fan of football but by God this racism has to stop NOW!!!
The visuals pre and post match are appalling. This rowdy / hooligan behavior is unfortunately typical in that region. Didn’t they BREXIT…time for Europe to reconsider for next EURO? Italy 🇮🇹 deserved & won! Making to final is not a small feat either 🏴!
That makes me cry and lose faith in people ... Racism is stupid and inhuman.. this engl. Team made a good job.. and they will come bk - together- and they will show us great football - das ist es was ich glaube ⚽️🌈
Sincerely these guys did not deserve the pressure they were put through.
MarcusRashford JadonSancho BukayoSaka GarethSouthgate England Football My tweeted predicted this. Racism was ongoing. Due to these footballers missed penalties last night, England will be gunning for these boys. There were more experienced players in the team that night
I haven't seen any just people saying Rashford took an embarrassing penalty while being one of the country's best footballer Rashford PR team and BBC will now only focus on the alleged racism.
what racist abuse? were they criticised for missing penalties?
BBCWorld Okay, what is BBC’s editorial take on the behavior of the English fans, rather hooligans after the loss. Would like to see how The Economist sugar coats the incident!!
I knew. But if they had won, praise would be everywhere.
I guess fans forget the team who could only score 1 goal in 120 minutes was made mostly of white players. The late substitutions of black players was part of the sacrificial lambs mentality considering England historically sucks at PKs
Why is England allowed to be a venue for world class soccer? The violent and racist fallout from the Euro Cup Final has again exposed the ugly and dangerous behaviour of too many. Surely sane, sober fans would prefer not to be subjected to these violent humiliating displays.
theferocity I knew that it would become racist once it became clear these young guys missed the shot. It’s a shame because they each have a whole career ahead of them!!! And the others act like they’ve never made a mistake before
the only way to stop this problem is for social media companies to VERIFY every account on its platform .
I was rooting for England and honestly cried when they lost! But now with all these racist insults on the Black players… Thank God they lost!
Penalty mnawaonea tyuu hao watto,,hamkuona watu wazmaa wa kupgaa
Flippin cowards and keyboard gangsters
Oh, here we go.. The Condemnation that's been so effective over the years. I can already see a budding racist being discourage by the FA condemnation..
Awwwwwww
knew this would happen, i still remember how backhem was treated after they blamed him for loss against Argentina in WC.
The game was lost in real time. England failed to properly attack after they scored the early goal. Italy basically controlled the game. Feeling very sad about these three lambs to slaughterThe 19 year old should not gave been asked to take the 5th penalty kick. Where was Sterlo
I hope they see this and not want to represent England again! Because they could easily call the abusers 'DOG LOVERS' 'CAUCASIANS' 'CAVEMEN' but that would be senseless and a terrible act
Rashford launched a high-profile campaign to make sure your kids get free school meals were fed regularly when schools were shut during lockdown and you gonna hate on him just for penalty he missed!! You lot are disgraceful people!
Add my naughty snapchat premium juicyrebeccca for exclusive content and video calls! 😈😈😈
When English people will learn to behave better and grew up ! These players are your own compatriot so bunch of clowns!!!! Shame on nation that allow racism keep continue!
Racista fans
They have huge balls and steel quality!
It's a game. They are young. People are human. Ridiculous that ignorants would let mad take over. MarcusRashford proud of you. GarethSouthgate should of brought on the changes earlier this falls on your tactics and lack of game changing.
Wow so surprised….
BBCWorld It shows you what the English are like. I am English but my team is Brasil
BBCWorld The game is won and lost by players on the field and not black or white men
England don’t have a future without these 3 it’s a shame what they have to deal with
Everybody knew it was coming. It's England at the end of the day. Serious underlying cultural racism is huge. This is from a country that never apologised, doesn't even acknowledge its Colonial Slavery and genocidal past. Still boo'd taking the knee even after a full explanation.
England is irrelevant garbage
It's senior players letting a 19 year old teenager take the penalty who should get the criticism
Amazing lads, stay strong, stand tall and thankyou for everything you did
The Media are responsible for the Racism caused in the UK supporting criminal racist Marxist BLM organisation CRT Wokiism has all been shoved down everyones throats on TV and in the news papers and making a convicted violent criminal into a Hero is a very bad example
Abusing these guys because of their skin colour is disgusting. I stand with Saka, Rashford and Sancho 👊 This generation is so brilliant. Let them play and keep on supporting. Stop being cruel! Respect to these three lions and great supports from Turkey 🇹🇷 SayNoToRacism
That didn't take long...
Its pathetic how they abuse players in such a manner, over a game.
Utterly heartbreaking. You three lads are role models and this is what you get. Ignore the abuse on Twitter, the rest of the country applaud you and admire you. Well done you three. England loves you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I bet that's the best they can do? 💁🏾♂️🙄
🐒🐒🐒🐵🐵🐵🍌🍌
BBCWorld I really hope people stop doing this stuff. So sad. One day those racist people will have their turn
Good
Ban these people if you can, our players don’t need it, they helped us get to the final
borissbritain
Esos Son Enfermos Mentales Que Sólo Están Buscando La Mínima Oportunidad Para Sacar Todo El Odio Y Racismo Que Tienen Adentro.
BBC thank you for stirring unnecessary things
BBCWorld Investing today will save you the stress of financial crisis tomorrow.. Live the kind of life you want today by investing and trading Bitcoin option. Trade with a professional trader and start making good profits today. LISAMARKDONALDT for transparency and trust.
Treat these 'fans' like the kids they are. No more footy for anyone until they learn to behave like good children. When did it get to the stage where is now 'expected' that they will be lifes scum bags. UEFA 'condems the behaviour but theres never any repercussions
I'm not British, but I'm Black! Pan-Africans uphold our own!!
You THREE are a credit to England and the national team. You are wonderful role models to children with your hard work and determination. The people who racially abuse you are NOT real football fans and they are certainly not the people of England that I know. We love you ❤️❤️❤️
BBCWorld Didn’t see that one coming… TooPredictable
That is just horrible. However, why are you not commenting on your uncivilized fans who are beating up Italian fans. LOSERS
Delete the whole country 😭
Condemned and we wait for the next incident? Just ban the monkey emoji and censor the word monkey and all similar gestures. Just wake up and act. The FAs, FIFA and EUFA should stop disguising like werey. Social media platforms can do better.
BBCWorld As strange as many of you might find this idea, in my opinion you all are giving the idiots who said that crap exactly what they wanted…attention. The solution to this is ignoring them, not amplifying their voices. Ignoring them makes them irrelevant as they should be
I thought we wasn’t a racist country?
You’re playing Italians, what did you expect that would happen ?
Firstly they need re educating, it should say, I can’t believe these guys missed the penalties!! Because colour should not be brought into it, we all have red blood 🙄
So typical of English football ‘supporters’ BLM
Maybe everyone who stands against racism should shut all our SM platforms down for x amount of time in protest.
Grow the fuck up people 😤
Remember, when the football community didn't want the super league, shit got dealt with swiftly. If the FA dont take action, you know they don't care. FA Euros2021 BLM
What Twitter should do is name and shame these morons for racist abuse of these players We should be talking about how far the England team has come instead it will about this They have to spoil it for every English fan
Anominity you see🤷🏾♀️ All social media platforms should have rules to hold passport details, credit card,or driver's license details as a standard to even be allowed a profile. But unfortunately we have tied ourselves in knots because of rights to privacy and freedom of speech.
Standard practice with that mob.. Wonder will they take the knee next game and what reaction it'll bring Back to square 1.
Diversity made you weak, hahaha 0 out of 3 hahahaha
julievwillis And they will do what about it?
Everyone head to their Instagram and show them some love to drown out the hate please.
Shame on anyone who does this! If they would have scored, they would be your heroes
English people don't deserve you guys,, they are killing black people of Biafra through supporting terrorists government in Nigeria,, England hate black people period
Team spent all Euros on their knees for them, and this is their gratitude? Back to cotton fields please where you can do something productive
