I am sure most of you know but England was up 1-0 in the final and conceded a goal to go to OT. Went to penalties and they made the first two so were up 2-1
That's when the sh*t hit the fan. England missed all 3 of their next penalties to lose the Euros to Italy. All 3 of the penalties were missed by black players, at least 2 of whom are first generation English.
To add fuel to the fire, the English team's unpopular adoption of the BLM movement and taking a knee before matches hasn't endeared the team, especially the black players, to many of the supporters.
Predictably there has been a wave of racial abuse towards those players that missed penalties, and also a wave of support by those condemning the abuse and crying for social media to silence and ban angry abusive fans.
Thoughts?
