“It is totally unacceptable.” Prince William said he is sickened by “abhorrent behavior” as three Black players who missed penalties for England in the decisive European Championship shootout against Italy were subjected to racist abuse online.

The Associated Press

“It is totally unacceptable that players have to endure this abhorrent behaviour,” he wrote on Twitter. “It must stop now and all those involved should be held accountable.” Last month, Johnson’s spokesman said the prime minister is “more focused on action rather than gestures.” That comment led to widespread criticism that Johnson was effectively encouraging those booing to carry on. Three days later, his spokesman changed tack, saying the prime minister “respects the right of all people to peacefully protest and make their feelings known about injustices” and that he wanted them to cheer the team and “not boo.

Gary Neville, a former Manchester United player and now a TV commentator, said he wasn’t surprised that the three players who failed to convert their penalties were targeted for racist abuse and also called out Johnson. The English FA said it will give the players affected what support it can and will press on authorities for the “toughest punishments possible" for anyone found to have been responsible for the abuse.

Facebook, which owns Instagram, said Monday it tried to remove harmful content as quickly as possible and encouraged people to use the tools it offers to block abuse.

Words he never once uttered in response to the vile hatred and racism directed towards Meghan Markle. Prince William can take several seats!!! His hypocrisy on this matter is utterly astounding!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Better cleanup your back yard first Willie….

Was he sickened by how his family and his country treated Meghan Markle?

Your family?

'Hey, but feel free to pile on my SIL like the rest of my racist royal family does.'

But he’s ok with his SIL being bullied to the point if suicide and being subjected to racism within “The Firm”?! Take a seat, Will.

Everyone is racist ! That’s natural There is some people we not into ! Don’t want kids with ! Don’t want as neighbors By keep making the BLack victims, by giving them affirmative action , You increase racism 🤷‍♂️ Getting bullied on the internet is not new !!

Racial harmony is elusive.

Meghan Markle like...

Biss-millah ... ! Saying that guy who called others a 'Paki' ... !

Pot calling the kettle black. From william bedford forest.STFU william!

Lol. His family is racist too.

Token canned PR pablum statement.

Really. I just don't care. That whole family is messed up, and I find my family more entertaining.

You people are crazy if you think he didn’t support his brother and his wife!

2/The moment you think the country has made strides in fighting racism’s setback appears that nothing has been done and nothing can be done. I remember no blacks no dogs here ,back in the days. Shameful shameless systematic media racism englandfans EnglandRacism England

Criminalizing hate speech is needed in order to silence dissent and force compliance. ABC news should try to tie those who commit such heinous acts as insurrectionists intent on undermining democracy. ABCs audience would eat that up, and it might bring clicks and engagement.

''Black people should not be bullied and discriminated against unless they marry any royal family''- Prince William

Meghan Markle enters the chat 👀

Hey dummy don't bring them here!

And has he been wondering about the skin tone of their children Huh

Regardless of their origin, when they missed the 3 penalties, they were going to criticize them anyway! Italy beat them ☹️☹️
